Elwood and family's journal of our ss journey

[Lazy Gardener]

Our water is moderately hard, with high sulphur, manganese levels. I think it's over 300', poor seal to the bedrock, so we get some sediment. Only 1.5 gpm so we run the risk of running dry, and I can only spot water the garden. Ideally, we should have RO, but the sediment would require lots of frequent maintenance to keep the system running. I use a Brita filter, but mostly, we buy our drinking water.

Our well is very deep, poor water quality. Meanwhile, the next neighbor on the street drilled 80', got such high water return ( and good quality) that it ran for a year and a half before they could cap it.

I really like that idea. We have an ice dispenser, but don't use it b/c the water is so crappy. I'd love to have RO at the kitchen sink. But, the sediment would make the upkeep more trouble than it would be worth, I fear.

We went out to our property today and i was shocked. Someone has mowed and baled the grass! I dont know what to think.

Uhhhhh…that's odd. Maybe they had an agreement with the previous owner?

 

[Mini Horses]

So, you hadn't been there for a few days? Assume that as cut/dry time, then bale. Hey, I'd be camping there while DW stay at the apartment and see "who" came to claim the hay. OR is the hay gone????

Strange...

 

[elwood]

Hay is still there. Dw is sick so i am with her.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Sure hope DW feels better soon!

 

[elwood]
