 Again, I am Eric Shavey. I'm going to talk to you a little bit about irrigation and plastic culture. It'll be short and sweet, but if you have any questions, just let me know. You can call me, you can access that through the Farming Basics app. Go to Edelwald County and you'll see Eric Shavey and you can call me directly. I can help you out with that, but I'm going to get started here. So a lot of times we, especially drip irrigation, now this is our drip tape that we use under our plastic. Doesn't have to be used under plastic. We've used it open field before, but mainly we're using this under plastic. And a lot of times we know how much do I need? How long do I have to run this? How much do I need? Well, we normally say to get that one inch of water per week is what we need. So this is going to be figured on one inch. Now under a heavy fruit load, or you feel like you need to get more, it just makes it easier to do this way and find out how long we need to run it. But how much do I need? One, you need to know your row feet. You also need to know your area under irrigation, which is pretty simple because we'll use our row feet. And then that's multiplied by our row width. I'm using three foot as my standard here, depending on your bed, the top of your bed, you can change that if you would like. But if we keep that standard three foot, I think we'll be fine. So our square footage, once we get that, we're going to divide that by 43.560. That's our square footage in one acre. And then that tells us our acreage that we have under irrigation. So I know that there's some great publications out there that talk about irrigation and how long you should run it to get the timing. And it talks about row spacing and everything. And that's great if you're planting 10 acres of tomatoes they're consecutive, but most of the time, many of our growers are planting four or five rows and then they have a drive row and then four or five rows and have a drive row. And that just kind of makes it hard. So, trying to sample it down here with that standard water requirement, one inch per week, that's a total of 27,154 gallons. So if you think of a paved parking lot out there that's one acre, we get one inch of rain, that's how many gallons of water is hitting the ground. So we take our acreage under irrigation, multiply that by the 27,154. And that tells us how many gallons per week we need to get that one inch of water. And if I've lost everyone so far, I'm sorry, but this is how our brains work during the season. So I know how much I have to have, but what's my system doing? What type of drip tape did I use? What's my output? Again, we already know our row feet. And then we know the flow rate in gallons per minute per hundred foot because one, it's on the tag. And I've taken a snapshot of some drip tape there that if you look down at the bottom where I have circled is that 0.45 gallons per minute per hundred foot at the optimal eight PSI. So that's information you'll need to know. It's easy to snap a picture of that when you get your roll of tape that you're laying, snap a picture of that on your phone because once you put it on your machine and you put your covers on the side and tighten it down, then you're like, well, which one did I get? What's my flow rate? Then you got to go and take your plates off and look and see what you bought. So the equation to know our output, you can see at the bottom there is our feet of row, divide that by a hundred. And then you take that answer and multiply it by your flow rate. And so that's gonna give us our output in gallons per minute. So I'm gonna back one up. So now we know our gallons that we need per week. Now we know how many gallons we're putting out per minute. So how long is it gonna take? We go back, you can see I just mentioned that gallons per week to get one inch, our output. We divide those, our gallons by our output, that gives us our run time and minutes. Of course, just to simplify that, you would divide it by 60 minutes because that's in an hour. Irrigation time and hours at that sufficient eight PSI. As I go through, I've just got a small example here. Let's say you've got some high tunnels, you're irrigating 120 foot rows. And there's five foot rows in there. We take our 600, we're gonna divide or multiply that by our divided by a hundred, multiply it by our 0.45. That gets our 2.7 gallons per minute. When we get our three by 600, that's 1800 square feet, divide it by our acreage, gets our acres under irrigation, multiply it by that great number of 27154 that is now ingrained in my brain after making this presentation and dealing with a Excel spreadsheet. That's 1,113 gallons per week to get that one inch of water. Divide that by your output, 412 minutes. So almost seven hours to get that one inch of water. So I hope many of you are going, yeah, that's about right. That's what I do. And if some of you are going, wow, I don't run mine that long or wow, I run mine way too long. This is very flexible because depending on what type of soil type you have, depends on what you're, if you're trying to push your plants, what your fruit load is, but just trying to give you some type of basics on how much you need, how to figure out how much you're putting out and to get us close in that ballpark. Again, I'm gonna go to my, I said it was short and sweet here today. I have an Excel spreadsheet built. So if you call me to get me to help you figure that out, I'm gonna ask you row feet. I'm gonna ask you how many gallons per minute you're putting out and how many rows you have. And I can plug that into that spreadsheet. Regardless, if you're running a single drip tape or double, we can figure that out for you.
