Water, Pond-erances

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

>I have a pond - its a bit bigger then you suggest at about 1/4 acre - it is
unfortunately too far from the main veggie garden - someday I will put in a
pump there for the herb garden which is right next to the pond. 

>Veggie garden is up hill from the pond about 1/4 mile so it is a bit too far
for the average pump system - and unless I bury the lines it wouldn't look
great out and would interfere with the driveway! Bummer!

*You write to cry?  Or you want a solution?

There are probly many.
Distance is not an issue, unless you meant 1/4 mile, vertically...?
1728, UP...?

Looks that much of an issue?  Not bad to bury lines.  There is a chainsaw like
thing which is made for digging like this.  Schedule 80 is mor $ but grey and
tuff.

Driveway?  Go over. Go under.  Have a barrel on each side of the drive.

Pump to near one.  Pump or siphon from there over, with a 200 gph portable 12v
bilge pump, then, or next day.  Adorn barrels with unmottared bricks, keeps
them cooler, Looks good.  I need more info.  Likely can do this with
cleverness.

But this is a pet project... ring me up off line.
