If there’s one mantra to remember: no bare earth (covered soil = cooler soil = less evaporation). Life creates water : plants, roots, mulch and microbes build humidity, improve infiltration, and change the microclimate over time. Start with what already thrives in your area (the “pioneers” and first responders) and let the land show you what works. Plant densely to create shade, humidity, collaboration between roots, and faster “forest maturity”. Biomass = water storage : the more green matter and organic material you build, the more water your landscape can han
