Irrigating Walnuts-checks Or Furrows

Categories: Soils, Fertilizers and Irrigation

Which is the best method to irrigate a tract of 25 acres of sandy

sediment sail, nearly level, preparatory to planting walnuts?



By all means use the furrow system of irrigation unless your land should

be so light that the water would sink in the furrows and distribution

would be very unequal without covering the whole surface as is done by

filling checks. When the land cannot be covered well by the furrow

system, checking is resorted to, but not otherwise.
