Irrigation Systems

After the beds have been created the drip system is installed. Each fruit or vegetable has it's own layout. This means that the plants are to be planted a specific distance from each other, and the drip system matches up with each plant. Some vegetables are able to share the same layouts. To be cost effective we make sure that crops are planned so the crop rotations are able to use the same drip layout. For example cucumbers and sweet peppers can be planted in rotation using the same drip system. In this case there are 9,500 plants planted per manzana and each plant has its own source of water. Fertilizer and most pesticides are put in the irrigation system.
