We have started building some swales running across a fairly gentle hillside. Before pulling dirt down out of the swale, we are laying small logs and slash just below the swale location and pulling the dirt onto that. It is giving use bigger mounds than we would have had using dirt alone. Because we are following the hillside, we don't have freedom to orient them east - west.
