I'm thinking about rainwater harvesting and homesteading for about 3 years now, but I have the time for about 5 months now to read a lot about how to manage everything. Your rainwater harvesting system and the way you explain the things is just what I needed. As a woman living by myself I need to do lots of thing on my own. I can do this. Thank you very much for showing your works on yt.

we are locked down again in my country, just before lockdown we got delivered a nice big water tank. I cant wait to get back to the hardware store to get the parts for my rainwater collection. Good tip on the leaf eater, I will look into one of these.

This may be a little off the subject, but it is your water just fron crop and if so, what will you do for regular drinking water for the home in case of some disaster? I am just trying to figure something out for myself. My property isn't as large as yours.

It will be for both eventually. I will have several sources of water for drinking including the rainwater.

@honeybee6674 10 ай бұрын

Is better to leave the water tank above or below ground ? 3 people are here have ponds and a geologist told me that there water. I keep getting the run around I did have on gentleman told me it would cost me $30,000.00 to $40,000.00. The zoning department said it had to be 75 feet. Don't know how far they need to drill. It is too expensive.

Don't waste your money on such projects. Check your water bill to see what you are paying per gallon of water. It's probably less than $0.05. It will take decades for this to collect enough water to recover your cost.
