Pollard! Looking Good! Hope you get lots of tomatoes this year!
You have a lot of rock there! My father moved from Wisconsin to Arkansas and he had a hard time getting used to gardening on 3-4 inches of topsoil. Ended up scraping a bunch of dirt into one spot for his garden. Hard adjustment for him.
Last few years I used 1/4” drip irrigation for my tomatoes, this year I am using 1/2” with drips every 12”, distributes more water faster. I was using 1/4’” for a row of pole beans but it also did not put out enough water fast enough, so I went to 1/2 soaker hose.
I just ordered more 1/4” couplers. I only used half of the 1/4” drip line so I’m going to add a second line to it. The emitters are 12 on center and I’ll offset the second drip line to make it 6” on center.
I’ve got about an acre that’s rock free and also is the most level spot. 12” of nearly rock free top soil down there. Soil Survey calls it Loamy Silt. I gardened down there for a few years but then I got the goats so I need to fence in an area to keep them out.
