I'm a total newbie here and would like some advice on what to plant in the bottom of my swale.
I dug a swale with a berm on flattish ground to capture rainwater off of my roof. I put berms on either side of the swale and have planted some fruit trees so far. What would you plant next both on the berms and most importantly, in the the swale. I have some comfrey ordered, and plan to put some elderberries close to the bottom of the swale, but other than that I have no idea where to start. I am in zone 4a in Saskatchewan, Canada. I don't want mud in the bottom of the swale but want something that can withstand our winters, some traffic, and water.
