NEW BELIZE IRRIGATION SYSTEM, FOOD AND WATER.

NEW TREE IRRIGATION TECHNIQUE INTRODUCED IN BELIZE.

  You take 2 inch PVC pipe and make them 18 inches long, bury them in the ground vertically and put a cap on both ends.  Drill a tiny 1/16 inch hole in top and bottom.  You can also put some holes on the sides as well.  The pipe is buried so that the top cap does not protrude, to far above the ground, so a bush hog can clear the weeds and pass over the pvc pipes.   You fill this pvc pipe with a mix of fertilizer and water, about every three weeks.
  The food goes out into the surrounding tree root system and crop yields go up a lot.  Put pipes in a circle around each fruit tree.

  The local magazine the AG REPORT has an artical on it, ISSUE 16.  The magazine is online.
