Jose is our foreman and then there is young Jose who is in charge of irrigation. Last Saturday he was working with Nigel to install the sprinkler lines on the walnut trees. The sprinklers are held at 'bout shoulder height, and the water sprays in large droplets in a 10’ circle. This means that the roots of the tree have lots of moist soil to explore. Another benefit is that the irrigation line is up and away from tractors or weed whackers. Roberto likes to keep going on his tractor so we like to keep things up and away so that he can't do damage. More pictures on the blog and facebook page showing this soon.
