@thebrasspine: When you plant 50 fruit trees on a whim, you get a little creative with watering. We drilled four small holes in the bottom of 5-gallon buckets, fill them up, and let the water slowly soak into the ground. Is it the fanciest irrigation system? Absolutely not. But it’s what works for us! #FruitTrees #BackyardOrchard #Gardening #GrowingFruit #gardenprojects
get irrigation hose 1000 ft for like $60 .put drips then put a bigo water tank and add harbor freight water pump $220.i water 87 trees in 25-30 minutes.

thats a good idea. it beats carrying 5 gallon buckets to the garden like I did when I was a kid (12 or so and older).

IBC comtainers set on cinder blocks and fill withnwater and food. Drip irrigation lines to each tree.

Suggestion. Throw an ibc tote in your truck, fill with water and attach a ball valve with a 1 inch hose. It might take a minute for your garden hose to fill the tank, but the actual watering process would take 1/10th of the time.

That’s my dream, do you have nut trees as well? What kinds of fruit? I get so excited at the thought of growing my own food

Does each tree have its own bucket or do you water them one at a time?

Solar irrigation system! You can hook them up to rain barrels

I feel like you could DIY an irrigation system using that same method and it wouldn’t take you more than 4-6 hours. Might be worth considering if you’re spending 90 minutes every few days.

Did you start these fruit trees from seed? Did you order them from somewhere? We plan on putting our orchard in next spring, but I’m not sure where to get the trees from.
