What does the training contain to learn how to draw contour lines using a level?Egyptian ?
The secret of asustainable and fertile plotis above all a relevant design and layout taking into account the existing environmental conditions.
Before investing in complex irrigation systems or UV lamps, it is necessary toto exploitefficientlyrenewable energiesat our disposal: exposure to the sun, effective capture of rainwater, topography of the site, etc.
​
According toYeomans key line method, famous Australian agricultural landscape planner, a planting that respects the level curves on its site brings manyecological benefits.
Direct benefits are abetter rainwater infiltrationand increased availability for plants, therefore reduced watering needs; aincreased soil stability, preventing any risk of erosion during storms; aincreased fertilitythanks to the concentration of sediments at the foot of the plants planted on level curves; etc
​
This training aims to explain theimportance of good designon its site and in particular the importance of contour lines.
It also aims to make it possible to identify these level curves on its site using aancestral low-tech toolwhose effectiveness is proven.

In program :
​
-
Explanations ofimportance of design : sun exposure, planting on contour lines,Yeomans key lines ;
​​
-
Construction or explanation around the low-tech tool:the egyptian level ;
​​
