we went and dug some water holes where there wasn't any water you can hear it running underground down the hillside lots of springs in the area and when you get close enough to hear it running under your feet over the rocks underground ya just make a hole and you will find water every time me and momma dug 2 deep holes and now we will pump all the tarps full of water for the whole season tomorrow

even at 56 years old I still can dig a well out in the bush pretty quick for a old fart tomorrow ill set up water tarps and pump them full and there will be plenty for the season so 2 days and the water is secured for the dry spell when the swamps dry up when ya need it the most got the solar panels, batterys, pumps and hose going to be put to work and it makes watering the rest the season real easy by just using a garden hose and sprayer set up no carrying buckets for this old man hahaha

If you can find water near by that's the best way to do it fir sure. ..it's kinda hard where I'm at but luckily I found me a water hole for one patch ....your plants are looking amazing man...we have had some shitty cold weather for the past few weeks....but in the past few days my plants really started taking off...roots poking outa the bottom of the 5 gal pots I just put em in about 2 or 3 weeks ago...gotta pick out my candidate for my 100 gal pot...as soon as I transplant I'll be starting some lemon skunks ...next year will be an all getaway grow for this guy.....

I gave up on that a few years ago. Smaller tubing takes longer to pump the water but this height you can lift the water goes up quite a bit every time you reduce the pipe size. You also save money on long runs using smaller diameter poly hose.

we use the big pump (4000 gal /hr ) with 2inch hose for pump from swamp/wells to the water tarps and then use the smaller pump ( 1000 gal/hr ) to pump from tarps to water plants and we have solar panels to charge batteries all season in the bush . got the greenhouse organized for what is going and what is staying

thanks me and momma got a good start on things this season now we got the bullshit straightened out lol. we want to come by for a visit mainiak sometime before tied down for the season
that big pump will pump water 300 ft uphill at a 20 -30 degree incline with no problem the first 50 ft is 2 inch then I reduce it down to garden size hose and have plenty pressure for pumping ,pumps about what a faucet does for flow and for real steep hills I just go at angles that makes it easier to pump but it will pump it
