We have access to a pond. Irrigation water is pumped to a rusty old tank with holes that prevent filling it all the way. We used our own 275 gallon tank last year but that doesn't go very far. This 700 gallon tank was donated today by Nature Plus of Stratford, CT. Among other things, they make soil stabilization products. This water tank was no longer in use at their manufacturing plant so we can help reduce our irrigation challenges with it.
