Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Irrigation - got experience?
I'm interested in hearing about pasture irrigation, as well as garden irrigation.
What are you using, how much upkeep is it, and how well is it working for you? Swale experience welcome, too!

Well, the biggest problem we have with ours is the horses breaking the sprinkler heads. One of the horses we have loves to play in the sprinklers, and if you put him in the pasture when they are off, he breaks them so the water will spray out. Haven't come up with a solution to that yet....

Could you put a wire crate over the sprinkler?

Aww man, that's gotta suck with the horse doing that. But I bet it's funny to see.
The property we've got in the works has ten acres, flood irrigated. I've done a bit of research, and it seems like it's the most muss-free way to go. No equipment needed, not a lot of upkeep aside from keeping the ditches clear, etc. There's also a pond, should we need it. Anything that takes pressure off our well.
I'd also like to work in some cisterns for roof water salvage for the garden and such.
