#Derrybeg's #solarpower rainwater irrigation system has been keeping our thirsty tomatoes hydrated this season:

👉Guttering system to collect rainwater
👉5 tanks with covers to prevent algae
👉Solar panel to power pump
👉Dripper supply pipes

Thanks to @kildarecountycouncil for their support in creating this #sustainable #ecological system 🌞💧🍅

📢Big shout out to the leaf cutter bees at #Derrybeg Farm🐝🐝
🐝These solitary #bees are fantastic #pollinators for the farm and surrounds. The females are lining the nesting tubes with green leaf edges before laying 5-10 eggs per tube. Females live for about 6 weeks and their eggs will lay dormant until summer 2026.🐝♻
