I was saying at the start of the season..without the agricultural water I just could not get anything growing.
I was trying to keep things going with a hosepipe..when we got the pump set up we found out why.
The pump puts out 500 Gallons an hour.
Checked..coz it fills the 250 gall containers in 30 minutes..
and we are running the pumps for at least 6 hours a day..fri/sat/sun...and the land is so dry it is just sucking it up...
no wonder I was getting nowhere with the hosepipe.
I was looking at the plants I have growing WITH the agricultural water and Thinking that they were in Good condition for an unworked garden with hardly any amendments..then I realised.
The agricultural water come from the run off from the mountains..so it picks up lots of minerals and soil on it's journey..certainly the canals support Big fish..so instead of dead/sterilised tap water..I'm watering with nute soup..so I have started watering my canna with it from today too instead of the tap water..Fingers Crossed..
