So this needs some work.

Shallow trenches with a hoe.

Someone is studying where the tubes are laid.

Yes, you.

Water!

The reservoir is above terrace level, and when full also above orchard level, so water flows automatically. But, when half full water flow becomes slow. Or nonexistent. We need a small pump.

An old external-disk 12V supply (4A!), and two hoses. A valve in between when the reservoir is full and the pump is not needed.


And see there's water with the furthest away trees.

It's not a complete success, as it does not work with all irrigation strings at the same time. There are 6 strings with 2-5 trees. One at a time works fine. So that's the way it is, or we buy a stronger pump. This one still is usable for a Manneken Pis, or something equally tasteful.
