Now to wait n see if it fully froze or not...

So....horses eat holly. fenced them off.
3 bags of topsoil, 3 bags of manure, and still need more to finish planting these!

Then to move the rocks elsewhere.

Got enough dirt for these darn holes!

 

[secuono]

12 bins of dirt, nope, more needed! Maybe 12 more will be enough.

If the barrel holds 55gal. Dripper does half gal an hour. One dripper+one barrel lasts 4.5 days.
But if there's a split in the hose, two drippers...then 2.25 days?
And...10 trees=10 drippers. 11 hours for one barrel?
Do they make slower drippers?? Refilling daily is a nono!

Got 4 all ready to hook up. Original one got a bigger outlet thing to actually put out water and not take 30min for 40gal.

Have another 55gal blue barrel on the farm. Will hook it up to split the 10 trees into two groups of 5, one set for each of the two barrels.​

​

I need to time a barrel. Because I cannot find the water pressure on a standard 55gal barrel with a nozzle 1in off the bottom. So, my math could be off, plus, less pressure over time as it slowly drips out.​

Pines/cedars, idk what they are, are growing!
Still waiting on the newest carport to be finished before the current shelter is taken down and these guys can be planted roughly in that area.
The 2 "dead" plants will stay put until I know if they'll grow or are actually dead.


That blue shelter is where 3 trees are going. Two white pine will go idk where yet.

 

[secuono]

Got all the trees hooked up and watered.
High winds today, one barrel ran away, breaking the plastic connector. Ordered brass ones. Gotta keep bins full or use a tpost to hold them in place.
Impossible to get green cap screwed on.

You would think, with such a low temp it can handle, that our 4F winter wouldn't kill it....
I'll just give up on certain plants...
