Over the last two days we received delivery of the materials needed to assemble our drip irrigation system. Today we are assembling the system. A line of 90mm main is laid out down the center of our southern fields and smaller pipes are connected at 30 meter intervals to distribute water evenly over the whole field. Within the next few days drip hoses and organic fertilizer will be added to the fields so that planting can begin for our early season eggplant. We also received delivery of our water pump and are preparing to hook it into our pipe system as soon as our first water is delivered this week.
