Some people have already set up wheelie bins with hoses for transporting their water. Another idea that came to me is a pulley system - you know clothes line pulleys - but this time set up to transport buckets of water. We could stick to individual plot pulley systems or (yes folks here I go again) we could have a communal system running between sheds, trees - anything that is upright and firmly connected to the ground. Should be fairly cheap to set up - what do you think? Allyson
ReplyDeleteHi Allyson, while I can see where the idea is going, in practice you would only be able to transport 2, possibly 4, litres at a time. I would think this kind of thing, http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/kampa-roly-poly-40ltr-fresh-water-carrier.html, would be easier. Or if any one can get hold of old 25L drinking fountain bottles they could be carried round on a sack barrow.

I have a a couple of the water cooler bottles if anyone wants to use them. I've taken he bottoms of most of them, but a couple are still in tact.

I've got a few of the large bottles too to add to the pot that anyone who wants them could have...... by the way Denis - how did you get the bottom off your other bottles???? I'm still going to go ahead with working out and applying my mad zip line idea so if anybody has a couple of old pulleys lying around to help me get started with a trial on my plot I'd most appreciate it. Did I say Denny suggested my filming and posting my attempts to if nothing else give everyone a laugh? Watch this space folks
