Flood irrigation in new growing area, just planted

Flood irrigation's journey or no waste watering. We begin with water pumped from a stocked rain catchment pond aka fertilizer & moisture. Each mulberry was planted with a personal swale since we have a drought season from late July through August. Water fills those swales then the overflow fills on-contour swales below. Those have berms planted with grains & grasses. The overflow from those swales goes back to the stocked pond.

Thank you for your inspiring post.  I envision using the pond at the low corner of the land that I am making available in my signature line but with a storage tank at the top of the property like in on of
Geoff Lawton's videos because the ponds dry up in the dry season but overflow in the winter.

Yes!!! On another section of the farm we have a 3500 gallon water tank that we fill up and then let gravity do it's thing.  
I'd love to see pics

I clicked on your name and then the posts you started and looked at the pictures of your food forest project and a few others. I like your floating garden project.
