I've run it dry three out of the last three years and I've finally learned my lesson. No real help from Cristobal it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Wow my pressure is fantastic this year (so far) and hasn't been a problem since we put in a new well pump 5 years ago. The dark green plant wilt in my garden is terrible and sooo disappointing. I think I'm going to waste some water pressure and build a mister today. I just ran a 10 minute fine mist and everything perked right back up so I think that something that runs about 1gph ought to do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Not much for rain at all so far, .2". It looks like there's a bit more but not even as much as I've already gotten. The garden got a serious watering though as today was (liquid) fertilizer day so while the soil was soft and it could soak in there well everything got a good dousing from the base. Gonna make me a big ol' salad on Friday I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Well that wasn't just "some rain" it is a full on tropical deluge. You know all that rain we didn't get last month? I'm getting it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I just looked and all of the stations around me are 25 minutes behind on updates on WU. It looks like it was about the same here but can't confirm that just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Little fingers extending northward off the main line are skirting just to my south, with passing wetness every few minutes for a minute or less. Interesting little feature to the backside of the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 So why don't I believe that it's going to be dry for a week? Nice forecast though. After some of the local stations caught up after yesterdays drenching it looks like it was about 1 1/4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 47 this morning. An inch of Snow and snow squalls second week in May and a hard freeze in mid May. I’ll sign for this spring every year. Maybe without the Pandemic, riots, and social unrest. Maybe next year I spend spring in Chaz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 46 and breezy, it got cold enough to close the windows and kick the heat on for a cycle around 5am. Looks like the garden dried out from the soaker and the leaf munchin' critters are enjoying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
