Every other day we're towing a large tank of water around the garden and dosing those trees that are looking a bit stressed.
The big ones are OK but some of the younger ones don't look good. Hopefully we'll not lose any

You will have to get that tank/come rock feature sorted to ease this. No bore water in the area? Yes, we have a bore, but it only pumps for about half an hour at a time, we have paid for a water right, but can't really use it, because it ain't there! The local iwi are a bit up in arms over this water "right" issue, basically if we sell and move on, we can take the "right" with us, or sell to the highest bidder, meaning if the new land owner doesn't pay the top dollar, then he can't irrigate his crops... Moari are (rightfully, in this situation, in my opinion) a bit peeved, as they own a lot of land that is leased back, so if the current lease holders move on and take their water "right" with them, the land effectively becomes useless... Aztec was close to the cut with his water thread in opinion, it's going to become a very serious issue, very soon...
