Watering trees with the 5 gallon bucket method

Bad drought this year and fruit trees need water. This is one method that works well.

Thanks, so simple.

This is the only way to water trees. No run off, no waste.

What size drill bit? How many holes?

[@XaViEr3520]

1/8 is good, i drilled i played around with 1 and 2 holes and 2 holes is the money. imo but yeah try 1 hole first and see if you like that rate of flow if not try 2!

Do. We need. To. Move. Buches around the trees? Cheers from Europe😊

2 or 3 1/8”holes at >2-3gpm. >2-3gpm is the appropriate rate.

⁠yes move in clockwise or counter clockwise each week time watering on more outside edge of root ball.
