Anyone have any experience with building a natural/permaculture garden that intended to handle rainwater drainage? I have a low-lying area on my property that runoff from eavesthrough and sump water runs into, and instead of brutalizing the (minimal) grass and top soil that's there, I want it to run into a natural garden bed. Then perhaps the garden could have hearty plants to handle that runoff, such as Winterberry and Arrowood.
Any best practices out there from the CP folks?
