I installed my new range in the kitchen. Rained this morning so no mowing of the grass yet.

Got up at 5:30 this morning and walk about 1/2 of a mile through chicken houses. Came back to the house and had a few cups of coffee, watch a little TV and bout took a nap. Then went back and adjusted the feed and water lines. Got the mail and weeped over the electric bills and here I am.

I placed my 625 gallon water tank on my flatbed tandem trailer, and then filled it with water from the creek in my back yard, using a little two-stroke water pump. That little water pump is the slickest thing since sliced bread. Using a garden hose, 100 feet long, I was able to fill that huge tank in just over an hour. Sure beats hauling around one of those huge 3-5 horse water pumps.
I now have water for the garden that will last me all summer. And of course, today it rained nealy an inch, which means I won't need any water for a very long time. Had I not put the tank on the trailer, we would have suffered from a summer-long drought. That's gardening! hehehe.
Have a great day, folks.
Joel

I could do the same thing.
The only thing I don't have is the tank a trailer a water pump and the creek.

Maybe I'm being a little over-analytical here, but....
"I placed my 625 gallon water tank on my flatbed tandem trailer, and then filled it with water from the creek..."
"Sure beats hauling around one of those huge 3-5 horse water pumps."
Water weighs 8.35 pounds per gallon, 625 gallons therefore weighs 5,218.75 pounds.
A 4hp 2" water pump weighs about 60 pounds, a small 1" 2 stroke water pump weighs 15 pounds.
5,200+ pounds of water kind of puts an extra 45 pounds of pump into perspective.
If 45 pounds is an issue whay not just leave it on the trailer?
Best of luck.

Mrf, let me guess he can not get the trailer close enough to the creek for the suction hose. Thus the need for the 100 foot hose.
I have worked hard at insurance. Made no money that I know of but pumped over 625 gallons of water on three fires.  No it did not rain because of that. Need to wash computer I guess then it would rain. kt

Murf,
KtThompson is correct.
My heavy trailer would simply sink into the mud, if I even thought about getting it close to the creek.
I leave the trailer and tank way up on high ground, and then pump the water up to it from the creek below. Of course, I then have to haul the gas powered water pump down to the creek. It is at this time that my little water pump comes in right handy, as it weighs in at only 11 pounds.
The hardest part is removing all the ticks that I collect on myself after walking through the pasture. Dang things are thick this year.
Have a great day.
Joel

candarms; I have no idea what the effect would be on the plants you are going to water, but if you don't put a quart of Hilex in the tank with the water you will have the silmyest, stringest mess of alge in your tank in a few days you aeve saw. Been there done that with sprayer nurse tanks. Frank.
