Book Description
Whether yours is an irrigated orchard, vineyard, farm, or city lot-if it's on a grade of two per cent or more, you probably have an irrigation problem. When trees, vines, and other crops need water, it should be properly applied. Soil erosion must be prevented to keep land productive. The susceptibility of land to erosion during irrigation is governed by several factors: the method used, the rate at which water is applied, the cover on the soil, and the texture of the soil. There are some rather ingenious methods described in the circular - irrigation systems developed by people to meet their local problems. No doubt one or more of them can readily be adapted to meet your own situation.
