Drip irrigation was devised by Israeli scientists as the most efficient way to transport water directly to where it is needed. No water is wasted. Because holes closer to the mail line and lower down would receive more water than the others. The tool is used to poke a uniform sized hole in the drip hose nto which the stem of the emitter is plugged Which is exactly what the crew is doing here. Now it s time to plant the vines.
First holes are dig at the side of each stake.
The holes have to be dug by hand and the shovels take a beating in the rocks. Here are a few of the shovels destined for the great shovel bone yard in the sky. The holes have been irrigated, in preparation for planting. It will be removed by Valente, who displays the extensive root system. A bundle of vine cuttings ready to plant.
