Our "Rocks" After a Heavy Desert Rain

One of my desert irrigation techniques involves building checkdams. With the volunteers, we have built checkdams on 12 acres in the last 2 months. With all the rain we've had at the Dustups Ranch, hopefully a little more life has come to the Texas desert.

The goal is to create small islands of fertility that will help regenerate the desert ecosystem. Let's find out if it worked out as planned.
