You only need a series pinholes in plastic tubing that is plugged at one end. Lay the tubing along your row of plants.

It's really simple to do. Try to add some inexpensive valves to your tubing so that you can control what you water. You can fill a small tank or barrel and use gravity to irrigate.

If you going to be turning the soil often and have a pump already consider the benefit of the sprinkler not having to be moved when you want to till in the beds unlike drip lines.

Also consider the benefit of sprinkler for evaporative cooling for your leafy crops during dry season.

Both drip and sprinkler good just depend on application.

celery $80 a bundle
chive $75 a bundle
pimento $250 a bag of 100[/quoted]

We retailed at the farmers market Saturday and sold pimento 8 in a bag for $5.

So 100 would have worked out to about $60-$65 and this was retail. Other people were selling at same price.

Per 100 wholesale prices were $30(S), $45(M), $60(L). Which market was $250 bro?

If you don't find any, let me know and I can give you as many seeds as you want when the fruits ripen after Easter.

Cashews are native to the region and the seeds germinate very easily. You should have sprouts around the start of the rainy season

If I can, I will pick some cashew apples and you can have those, too.

We have an embarrassingly large number of cashew trees. All of them came from one tree that we had. The birds like the fruit and my wife likes the way that the trees look.

Clear a few spots for the trees and just cover the seeds with moist soil. I plant 5 or more seeds for every tree then prune after a year. You should get flowers after three years.

I just remembered tjat I have a spot with some seedlings that need to be moved.

If you're interested, let me know and I'll dig them out in a week or two with some soil so they will last longer.

They'll be about this size:
