|    Snag to All    |

      From: Snag_one@msn.com               There's no time like right now to make sure the garden does well this       year ... So I've installed a submersible pump in our well (was here when       we bought 20 years ago) and I'm in the process of designing a drip       irrigation system .        The plan is to use a large "caged tank" , a plastic tank in a steel       cage (used to transport peroxide in this case) of around 275 gallons       capacity . The pump will fill the tank , which will supply water to a       system of piping with drip emitters . If I use that whole tank every day       , it will cost me about 2-3 bucks a month for electricity . That much       city water would cost me around a hundred bucks or more , with the added       benefit that my well water has no chemicals added .        If ever there was a time when it was important to have a productive       garden , I think it's now . Too many signs point to a coming shortage of       food , and I don't like going hungry .       --       Snag        My rights don't end       where your fear begins .              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
