Looking for ideas from this experienced group on how you do micro spray irrigation on a small orchard. The land (0.6 acres) is sloped where the highest spot is near the Jujube and the lowest is by the Hazel Nuts.
I am looking at around 144 trees and have around half planted now. I have covered the whole area with 12 inches of wood chips.
The water well (in the shed) is rather large and the soil is naturally damp clay, so watering will only happen late fall during short droughts.
I would like to use micro sprayers or similar above ground spray type system that can irrigate the trees at 10 ft spacing and 15 foot between rows.
The goal is to use the irrigation system to put nutrients into the soil in early spring and late fall.
Thanks for your help.

Other people may reject you but if you lie in the forest floor for long enough the moss and fungi will accept you as one of their own!
