Nice idea Lynn, only one problem. My garden of approx. 1 acre in size takes
several hours to water, with 3 hoses going full bore. I only do this about
once a week, and then only if there has been no substantial rain.
I was thinking that the tank would supply enough rainwater to water 100 or
so pots, and a few rz's in the garden. Either that, or I'm going to need a
lot of buckets! :-)
Cheerz, Jan
