Hi Group,
We've completed our roof rainwater collection and gravity fed watering system which can now supplies our raised beds during dry periods. We invite anyone in the Charlottesville area to come by and take a look. We used a 40mil pond liner and have water coming from 3/4 corners of the roof. There is a spill over. We are currently using Mosquito Dunks (active ingredient Bacillus thuringiensis) with limited success. We will eventually need a cover. We did install an electric fence and this has allow the corn, cucumbers and beans to thrive. The groundhog would have done them in otherwise. The tomatoes and peppers are not doing too good but this is probably due to low light conditions.
If you would like to see the system and swap ideas feel free to send an email at kaj_511@earthlink.net
