    Making it RAIN!

    Planted in mid September and we had just enough rain to germinate seed on the 20th. Since then nada, so we took matters into our own hands and bought a high pressure fire pump and a trash pump. Planted Austrian winter peas, Crimson and white clover, along with a little chicory and Buck forage oats. It's coming in great, probably dumped around 7000 gallons on each plot over the last two weekends and they are looking great.

      Have a lake but pump it into a storage tank.

                Both are a little under 2 acres.

                    Cool idea. We just planted peas and need a way to water them. We've got a pump and fire hose, just need a way to hold water.

                      I would think this would be a good application for an old retired fire truck.

                              Just a water source, a large diameter hose, and a good nozzle.
