As our climate continues to change, #permaculture water capture methods will be the most efficient way forward. Top image shows how most homes are designed: all the rainwater runs off into the gutters & little to no water is retained. The bottom image shows water capture design.

Visit these probability models while you work your yards this year. Consider the temperatures we've had, and the ones that are likely to come! It's all about planning! cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predi

With consistent temperatures above 50º, it is ok to begin pruning & cleaning up your yard for the new season!
Natural mulch methods such as using recycled cardboard underneath a layer of wood chips can minimize weeds, reducing the need for your labor and harmful herbicides.

Keep your eyes peeled in downtown Omaha in the coming weeks! Peregrine falcons return to nest on two buildings each year here. Once nearly extinct, the falcons are the world's fastest animal. #omaha #birdwatching
