Gosh what's everyone doing about water this year? With the fires and drought here, just wondering. A well is limited to 7k gallons a year for any irrigation.

We're soaked to infinity here. 7k is enough to grow some cacti. Well, maybe one big pumpkin.

I am by the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, no shortage here.

Good question regarding water supply during these crazy weather extremes. I see some growers using tanks, barrels, etc. to capture any run off from buildings, but other than that mercy of weather. We went through a historic drought here last growing season worst ever! Adding any moisture holding amendments such as peat moss and manure would help some. Good luck.

We had a historic drought last year, as Danny mentioned. Luckily, we have a large pond and a stream that goes around our property. I don’t know how it didn’t dry up last year.

PS- to improve/ aid in water retention, I want to get a few 1000 litre water totes but they are quite pricey here. Going for $200 on average I’m looking for something cheaper.
