Hello all,
I wanted to put out feelers to see if it was helpful/interesting for me to bring to the Ithaca farm hack event the tools and components I use to create water catchment systems that are reliable and easy to implement (and super cheap!). I farm exclusively with water caught from the sky, and have 12+ different water catchment systems on-line. Lots of failures over the years, a fair bit of success. Definitely interested in helping people avoid the failures! If there is interest among folks I can plan to informally present my research when there is a good time slot during the weekend...
Please feel free to post your best water catchment designs to the tools page of Farm Hack. I am sure that others would be really interested in learning from your experience. Use as many photos and drawings as you can! I am in the process of building upland holding ponds using earth berms and poly liners for irrigation and animal watering, so I would be interested in how what you are working on, and your experience might be relevant to our farm.
Surely we will post our plans here once they are ready. Till then others can also post their work here. Visit us for more details.
