This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the iron badge in earthworks.

For this BB, you will build at least another 200 feet of ditches to move water!


(source: Mother Earth News)

Minimum Requirements:
  - sealed without a liner
  - at least 200 feet
  - slightly off contour

To get certified for this BB, provide proof of the following as pictures of a video (<2 mins):
  - equipment and materials at the build site
  - partway through the build
  - sealing the ditches without a liner
  - demonstrate ditches hold and move water
  - completed ditches that meet the above minimum requirements
 
If you have a bad day in October, have a slice of banana cream pie. And this tiny ad:
