I'm curious how the irrigation is coming along?
I live an hour from my property and don't want to spend my time watering trees. We planted 52 pines along the highway. I have access to surface water part way down the line of trees. I'm going with low rate drippers so everything can be small, cheap, and easy. 1 gallon per hour drippers x 52 is less than 1 gallon per hour. So I'm using 1/2" irrigaiton tubing as the main waterline, with 1/4" taps putting a dripper on each tree.
Earlier this week we got far enough along to connect a 12v diaphram pump to a generator and it had water coming out of all the drippers. Once I'm comfortable its working I'll get a 100w solar panel, battery, charge controller, and timer. Then I'll just check on it occasionally to make sure the drippers aren't plugged or chewed on.
