Irrigation For The Farm, Saving Time and Energy! - April 21st 2018

Went out and got a few needed things to help with watering this coming summer. Would become quite the burden later on in time if I didn't set this up now. I can always move the hoses to the side when I amend the soil mounds in the future and then when I put the mound back together can bury the hose a little bit.

Even though I had bought two hoses today, I had to pull some hoses out from the storage shed that I actually did not know existed. Two nice irrigation hoses that I added to the end of one that I bought today to line the mounds with as seen in the photos above and below. Those hoses out of storage were a bit kinked at first from being curled so long, so with time and usage I expect it to loosen.

All the rocks used to pin the hoses down were dug up from the row I amended earlier, the far right row.

Felt kind of lucky the extra hoses were there, from when my Mother used to garden I assume, but they were there when I needed an extra hose. The distance to the spigot is about 150 yards and can become burdensome to haul that much water by foot to water growing plants. Step by step I am making the progress I need to see results this Spring and Summer!

I pray for Susan and her health.
