Ah tada.
I see now. Good idea growing trees as a way to minimize weeds.
I suggest you grow the avocado and whatever else seedlings in large pots in an area that you can water every day. Maybe right by the house in the yard. Just a short ritual. Then take to the farm and transplant one day when ready. That way the plants you put into the ground are way more that a foot high. Were talking four or five feet at planting because the will be really healthy. Big healthy root ball to soak up moisture and nutrients easier. A better head start.
Use a tractor if you have one with a back hoe attachment and dig monster sized holes for each tree. Fill with green waste compost and dirt. Plant.
Ice-cream-bean trees get big really fast and will shade. Date palms do well in dry climates. Yum.
Dragon fruit do well there too. Wonder if they can get big enough to block out weeds? (they usually need to be propped up somehow.)
