Default How you water in the big drought

How are you jokers in the drought areas of Aus doing with your vege
gardens?


So far no worries but then we supply our own water and aren't subject to
urban water restrictions. We specifically bought this place because it had
good water. Our pastures are the problem - insufficinet feed to support the
number of cattle that we would normally in a non drought times.

What arrangements have you ockers put in place during the drought for
watering the veges?


Now careful with those "ocker" and "joker" appellations! We may call
ourselves that but it's not something we accept too well from furriners!

Stuff the drought water anyway?
Roof tanks (how have they stood up to the long dry?)


Water tanks wouldn't be enough to keep a veg garden going throughout a
drought if one is on water restrictions. It may help out a bit but not for
long.
