Description

In this episode I discuss the concept of plant available water in the soil and estimating that available water by feel and appearance. I then talk about using this method to best irrigate newly-planted trees and young, non-bearing orchards. Although the second half of this episode is geared towards new and young trees, the information presented applies to everyone and is excellent knowledge to have even for mature orchards.
