Irrigation Solution Ideas

I have ~6 acres (~150 ft wide and ~1800 ft long) that I plan on restoring to native pollinators and wildlife habitat by broadcasting seeds. I plan on restoring two acres a year, completing the project in three years.

I need an irrigation system. My current idea is installing a well in the middle of the land and then using a couple of mini gun sprinklers. I know I'd have to move the sprinklers regularly during the watering in order to cover the entire two acres.

Ideally, after the plants get established, they'll not require supplemental irrigation, as I chose resilient native species.

Does my solution sound doable, or are there alternative solutions you'd propose?

So many thanks for any advice you can provide.

Hi David,
I think you idea would work, but I'm not sure if it is needed. Especially if you are adding back in plants native to the area, I think spreading them in spring, or just before the wet season would be sufficient. And if you had some specific plants you wanted extra watering, maybe drip tape?

I'm just thinking the native plants aught to be able to do fine without the need for extra watering.

Hello David, Welcome to Permies.

I love the idea of broadcast seeding, that's exactly what I did in 2 months ago and I only get 2.2inches of rain per month from October to May (the summer have a bit more rain).
I just went to the local store and both a couple pounds of beans and popcorn and threw them on the ground. I will you believe it I am now harvesting beans and that wasn't even my goal. I feel your excitement because I am exploring what I can do on my 2acres in zone10B.

So yes you probably don't even need to water the seeds.
How much rain do you get? What is your temp? Look into planting some dutch clover too. It will jump start your system and they only get to 9inches so the wild flowers will overshadow them and do well.

Consider using seedballs to protect the seeds until rain comes.
They are fantastic. Easily made and then distributed by hand casting.
