    I strongly suggest putting your mulch OVER your irrigation pipes, not under. As one website says, "Covering your drip irrigation system with about 2-3 inches of mulch is beneficial because the mulch will protect your water from the sun. This prevents evaporation and further conserves the water in your irrigation system." Plus, you then irrigate your soil, not your mulch.
    It's good to see Omar back, but I missed seeing your Mom! I just love her!!

    • @TheIndigoEscape

As a retired dental hygienist, many people slack off on wearing their retainer and then have teeth movement. I bet you couldn’t stop smiling for days after getting them off! It is so nice to not have your lips and tongue having to adjust to braces and being able to eat what you want without having to spend so much time cleaning bits of food stuck on them.

    If you want to cultuvate kiwi's on your land, that is also easy to do. Lay them in the fridge, for a week, than scoop them out, like an egg, en put the seeds in a cup of water. After a day, the fruit rest ar away, and you have only seeds. Put them in a nice pot with dirt, just on top of the dirt, and keep the dirt a little wet. After a few day's you have the start of a lot of new groing mini plants. Works with green, and Yellow kiwi's.

      @@TheIndigoEscape yes, you can take a kiwi from your choice, and put this kiwi in the fridge, for a week, because a lot of fruit, need a "winter period" for the wil grow. After planting, its takes a week or two, (or three..) and the grow begins. 👍

      The most of fruit plants, gives the first fruit, after 3 years...
      And if you want to grow your one palm tree(s), that is also easy to do. By dadel seeds, you can take the seed, and first you put the seed in a cup of water, and if the seed sinks, than is it a good seed, when the seed "drives", than its not good. Take a good seed, en put the seed, also on top of soil in a pot, and water it. The top of the dadel seed, is the side with te "split" , the botem of the dadel seed, is more round. The roots from the dadel seed, coms from the bodem part, and first the seed makes roots, and from the roots, comes the plant. The begin groing by 24° or more.

    You both look so happy to be together again. Omar's brickwork looks great! I'm excited to see the making of the concrete top.
    I have similar brown drip tubing in my garden and it has worked very well for years. It's easy to modify the layout to get more or less water wherever I need it. I usually have a few repairs in the spring, because the connectors get brittle in the sun and can break if I disturb them too much. Putting mulch over the drip system helps the connectors last much longer! (The tube itself lasts for many years and only has a problem if the emitters get clogged by minerals from hard water).

      @@TheIndigoEscape it is the easiest and lowest input way to preserve! It is how Kosher dill pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi are made, just add salt/brine (and flavorings if desired) and keep submerged until it ferments to your desired sourness. The larger the fermenting vessel, the slower it goes and the longer it lasts (so a quick one would be a pint jar, but a gallon or larger will last longer). I personally like Kristen and Christopher Shockey's book Fermented Vegetables, or any of their recipes for this technique.

    Be careful when using wood chips in the vegetable garden. It is better to use them on paths and around trees (fruiting/otherwise). Vegetables enjoy a more bacterial environment for growth. This is created by clean old animal manures, and good compost. Which can then be covered with ramial woodchip material. If you use only woodchip to mulch nitrogen will be stolen from the soil and therefore your veges, to break down the woodchips. It is the same in making good compost; nitrogen and carbon make good compost.
