re: washing machine pump will water plants.

Dear Friends,

Recently bought four 45 gallon (imperial gallons) plastic drums from a
fellow near Edmonton, Alberta here (zone 3b). Intend to build a water
storage/distribution system (lol) for my new beds.

Dale recommended I look for a water pump out of an old clothes washing
machine. the pump is easy to hook up and it will run on house currant. It
may be all I need to get water to the planned soaker hoses to be installed
in the three beds. Anyway thought you might be inspired with a little
recycling opportunity.

If you would like to see a drawing/sketch of the water system I have in
mind to build next month, you will find it on my web site:

Have a great day,
bill m.
