Irrigation

Today's lesson is on Irrigation. It is a practice that has been used for over 5000 years. It is basically a matrix of small channels formed in the field. The source of water can be from a well or from a natural source.

I came up with a technique that uses irrigation ditches. I grow in the matrix of small channels filled with water. Most gardeners have tremendous run-off. Most of their garden water goes downstream. The expense of constantly running the water in their garden can be costly.

Next time you plan your garden try using irrigation canals. Make them in such a way that they catch rain water and that they are interconnected. Use the canals to catch the water flowing downstream. When it is time to water, all you need to do is stick the end of your hose at the top of the canal and let the water flow downward to all your plants. 

My next lesson will be on how to garden in a trench. Visit my website at  aaahomebaler.webs.com
