However I did state that I tend to use a soaker hose that I do not raise
the tail of the hose. The sprayer does not work very good because it does
lack pressure.


If you have low water pressure, I can recommend these:

The spiky little head in the middle is like a small basket that wobbles.
The wobble action throws the spay quite wide even if the pressure is woeful.
Here's another variant:

That is something I did not believe existed. I will look for a local
version first.
Thank for the information on that. The soaker hoses are nice but have their
limitations.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

My well has never gone dry and have let it runs for hours on end. However,
I do not use the hose that often. Just between rains and when the rain
barrels run dry.
My barrels are now dry as of today. I am hoping for rain soon. Only a 30%
chance of rain for today and tomorrow. I estimate running my well, filters,
salt and power cost no more than twenty dollars per month.

Michigan is not like California, fresh water is cheap and plentiful here.
The reason people do not like Michigan is the long cold winters.

I don't like Michigan because of the climate. Hot and humid summers, cold
winters.

I like the change. I will watch the fireworks from a friends boat on Lake
St Clair on the 4th. Happy 4th of July

I spent many many hours on Lake St Clair when I grew up. One of those Michigan
weather memories - Deciding it was time to let go of the water ski rope because
I was gettting too hot.

Another memory - Not having to parallel park during my drivers test because
there was no place in town to do it - snowbanks filled them all up.

Given that Australia is the driest inhabited continent, we tend to have a
LOT of solutions to water problems. Also given that our population is
sparse in comparison to other lands, those solutions tend to be low tech as
the support networks aren't there for professionals to make a motza out of
support.
