With 2 rainwater tanks giving us a total of 45,000 lts. it's surprising how fast it can all disappear!
Of course it didn't help that the previous owners left the tanks half empty.
With our trees and vege garden going in, the water levels have been dropping fast. so money has been invested in a decent water pump to pump water from the spring and an extra 10,000 ltr tank for the top corner of the property which will then gravity feed to the taps along the sheds and garden. luckily all the piping has been already installed and all we have to do is connect the pump, tank and the garden hose for it all to work.
Having said all that; today we have had the worst dust storm in history and the air is dusty and dry and the plants are suffering. If it rains now we will get some great topsoil!!! if you know a good rain dance please let me know!
