I'm looking to add a no cost operation drip irrigation system to my back two acres for a start up of small tree farm/plant garden and food plot, hobby for the most part. I have a natural spring that currently feeds into a very small pond at about a 25' higher elevation than this field. The field runs about 300'-400' beyond the pond and is about 150x200 wide. The lower field drops elevation farther you go back. I know there are more efficient ways that will allow for a higher pressured system but I think this would be pretty cool and add character. I'll be utilizing .5 psi drip emitters so this is a very low pressure system. I have attached a ruff illustration of what I have in mind. I'm looking to put in approximately 6 water stands consisting of one wood barrel stacked on top of another, the bottom one will most likely be filled with sand. The barrel heights will be approximately 4' to 5' above finish grade as these also will sit on a high point in the center of the field. I will add more stands as necessary. My question is, will this concept work? I would hate to spend my summer and dollars to setting this up and not have it work. Let me know what you think.
