Avocado Harvest

At the end of the season we harvested 51 avocados today. I figure we got at least 80 and maybe 100 fruit this year.

Tensiometer Installed

Today I installed a 12" Irrometer tensiometer in the SW corner of the Zutano avocado drip line.  This device is designed to measure the force required for the roots to pull water out of the soil.  When the soil is at field capacity, the tensiometer reads zero.  I will monitor this meter daily and record gauge readings to determine when to irrigate.
