"Hey guys! I’ve got about 30 apple trees out here in the high desert, and I’m currently three years into a solo 'trial and error' mission.

I’m running a solar-to-tank gravity setup, but I’m hitting a wall: the watering is totally uneven across the slope, and my sprinkler heads keep sinking into the mud and disappearing near the trees.

I'm thinking about moving to something above-ground so I can actually see what's happening.

Does anyone have advice on how to get more consistent water to every tree without the muddy mess?

While out hiking I noticed that these cacti have been chomped on, any ideas?

Had to hike a few miles to get to the spot, but it was definitely worth it!

Came across this beauty while backpacking this weekend. It doesn’t surprise me that they build underneath these cliff sides, the temperature drops significantly in the shade.
