Default Re: Flood Irrigation and Banana Plant Location (and Citrus tree location)

With the rivers and the large dam reservoirs at historic low levels, flood irrigation may be stopped soon in the mid west & western states.


Find out what the irrigation schedule and how much water you can take. .... This is a very inefficient way to irrigate. Your yard may be too wet for a few days and then very dry until the next scheduled flood. .... I would consider installing a large above ground pool (tank), then run sprinklers as needed to irrigate the plants without area flooding. Refill the pool on your scheduled flood days.
