Designing irrigation before planting a single thing. 👻 “Ghost piping,” for future valves we can’t afford yet (so we don’t have to trench again when we CAN afford them). All different H2O needs get a dedicated valve… tomatoes (because they need a lot of water, then less as they mature), orchard… 🌱

Most orchard for us in S. California wants 15-20 minute deep soak once a week max, versus a few minutes daily of every other day - like most veggie/fruit crops.
So this stage of design is truly one of the most important.
Wall gardens need dedicated valves for shade/sun. There’s a LOT to think out.
