Rivka, (and anyone else) I noticed in your last post you mentioned you irrigate from a pond. We have a new 1.5 acre pond 100 feet away and 10' below our orchard. Haven't found a tank yet. Have a gas powered trash (centrifugal) pump - am hoping it can lift 15'. So am curious how you irrigate.....from a tank? drip? how do you control algae, duckweed and other matter from contaminating lines and nozzles etc? thanks,DelThe pond here is uphill from the fields under cultivation, and gravity gives enough pressure for drip irrigation without a pump; the limited water supply here makes drip a better choice than overhead in any case.
