Ha,ha - carrying water for newly planted trees brings back old memories of the first years we moved here - 1982. We got little trees of all kinds from the local forestry dept and planted them all over the 80 acres. Then we realized that we could NEVER afford enough garden hose to reach them from our irrigation system.
I had a small(1500#) trailer and twice a week we would put four 55 gallon drums on the trailer, fill them with water and spend half a day watering all the trees. My property is too rough, bumpy etc to carry water very far in the bucket. However - many times we would run out of water before all the trees were watered and I would scoop buckets full out of my other lake to finish the job.
