Just wanted to share a little project I've been working on so that everyone can see what needs to be done just to install a yard. I've documented every step of the way so far during the installation. Now that the plants are popping up I need to get the irrigation system installed and the trellis system up. Hope you all enjoy following the progress. I'll try to add more photos as I go but until then I've got a link. This is the overall farm as it sits today, 150 rhizomes, 5 varieties.

Best of luck and have fun putting up that trellis. It looks like you are doing 3 poles per row? Did you all ready dig holes for the pole or are you going back in to do that by hand? I would do trellis first, irrigation 2nd. Otherwise a big old pole is sure to snap an irrigation line.
 
Thanks Dan
The holes for the trellis are already drilled, just need some time to setup.
