Water storage

sounds good to me. totes or trash cans buried hold water nicely. sucks you have to carry water that far. good luck.
e.d.

thats what I'm thinking, plus only 22$ each I figure why not

Im buying a collapsible kids pool and lining it with a camouflage tarp. It will be under some reall dense trees so its not visible from the air.
A 8' wide by 18" deep kids pool holds 500 gallons of water.

Use water crystals in your holes and a slow release fert. like Osmokote Flower and Shrub, and you will not need to water or feed very often. When you water or it rains the crystals will hold water and release it slow.

what do you plan to do to keep the water from going stagnate...also what about skeeters?

sound good i do four 5 gallons per spot if need be have a natural spring near by to refill

Do you think water thats been sitting for a few months will be bad for the plants?
Im not worried about mosquitoes living in the water. I dont see how that could hurt anything.

The last few years ive watered out of this pond near my spot. The pond water is pretty cruddy looking but my plants seemed to be fine with it.
Last year this pond dried up in july and I was left hauling water twice a week 2 miles back in the woods. My plan is to put this reservoir near the pond and when it looks like the pond is getting low fill the reservoir.
I dont know. Ive got a few months to think about it

[FONT=Gungsuh, serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Ireally like the kids pool idea with the camo tarp, just gotta makesure to secure the tarp over the inside of the pool somehow, and nowthat I think about it I have a brand new one laying around the housesomewhere.[/FONT]

[FONT=Gungsuh, serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]I'venever used or heard of water crystals tell a couple months back, wishI would of had them last year, what brand would you suggest? And formy slow release Fert I'm thinking abut going with advanced nutrientsheavy harvest. has anyone had luck with this product and would I needto buy all three buckets Spring, Summer and fall or would I bealright with just one of the three.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Asfar as keeping the water from going stagnate, I have not thought tomuch about it, do you think doing a heavy stir for 10 minutes, twicea week would keep the water decent, or have any suggestions? as faras bugs and rodents the totes I will be using have secure lids tokeep unwanted creatures and what not out so I don't think that willbe much of a problem.
Thanks for the help[/FONT][/FONT]

Hey brown shoes. I used marical grow water crystals last year. They did seem to work.
Im gonna try heavy harvest for the first time this year also. Im getting all three buckets but ive talked to a few guys that only use summer and fall with good results. Google brown dirt warrior. He has some good videos that explain how he uses HH.

just put alittle chlorine in the wateR? not a crap load but alittle should kill of nasties and still be good for your plants. i think they also have stuff for ponds you could use. if fish and lily pads can grow in it im sure it would be safe for weed

I will for sure be picking some water crystals up the next time im at the hydro shop, gonna talk to the owner and see what he suggests.

Fudge it just gonna go with all three buckets. haha I'm subscribed to him on youtube, he inspired me to try out heavy harvest, man that guy is a fucking beast!! I love his videos,
I see him mixing the heavy harvest spring completely into his soil before he plants, so do you just top feed the summer and fall?

I know the pond water is good stuff, now im just worried about letting the water go bad as it sits. Gonna look more into the chlorine idea and see what comes up, thanks!

Thats what ive been doing the past few years at my other spot. Every year I have to dig that damn thing deeper though

Lowe's carries polymer crystals. Just about anywhere that has decent line of aggie products, no Wally though.
