☀️This summer is off to an abnormally dry start. In the month of May, we had less than a half inch of rain, which is way below average.
This time of year our Christmas trees are actively growing, which makes moisture very crucial. With our sandy soils, irrigating has become an essential task the last few weeks. While it doesn't replace a rainfall, it will at least help us keep the trees alive, especially the newest transplants.
Our oldest field has drip lines which is a very efficient method but requires a lot of maintenance. It is also a very slow process. The rest of our fields utilize the watering gun which can cover a larger area at a time.
Hopefully we can get some rain in the near future🤞🌧
