I'm still in a state of shock and disappointment. Damn bag. Wondering what the hell to do now. Options:
1) Try and glue seam back together and continue to use bag, being careful to put no more than say 1500 gallons in it. Pro - all we have to lose is the cost of the sealant and time and energy. Con - there is every chance that another seam will give out...
2) Donalds idea - dig a hole and use the bottom half of the bag as a liner. This would involve hiring a backhoe for an hour or two and there is still the potential for another seam to break.
3) abandon bag altogether and get a backhoe and dig a much bigger hole and put a liner in... do we have the money to get that much backhoe work done? would we use the liner that is waiting to go into the bottom of the gulch or save for a new one altogether.
4) forget the idea of having gravity fed irrigation water to the whole property and make do with rain and pumping from our catchment tank and a siphon from the existing duck pond to wherever it will reach...
Today I have just been making pinto cuttings and listening to radio national on the internet... I looked up some info about some fruit trees I am thinking to put in Takako's pidgeon pea plot. Black sapote's, mountain apples, abiu's...
