[QUOTE="dun, post: 1176687, member: 34"] The problem here with irrigation is there isn;t any free water available. If we would gravity irrigate from ponds it wouldn;t work for 2 reasons. Ponds are located at low areas to capture the runoff being lower it would have to be pumped to the upper areas so that pretty much kills the gravity deal. The biggest reason is with no replenishment the ponds would be dry. At best it would buy maybe a couple of weeks of grass, hardly worth the expense of putting in the irrigation system. [/QUOTE]
