NSF and keyline

Post by antigoon » Wed Jan 09, 2008 8:03 pm

What are people's thoughts on Yeoman's keyline principles compared with NSF? Are they competing or complementary approaches?

Is NSF similar to “Keyline”?

“Keyline” is an engineering water manipulation process that does not consider the natural water system in the landscape.

Soil fertility is distributed in a vital way for a sustainable landscape. Plants are the landcarers, they make good soil and maintain a healthy balance. The first few centimetres grass will dominate.

In many cases “Keyline” would disrupt these processes.
