Hand Pump

Hello Emery, [] Radon is interesting, as you might know, for the local alternative- and eco-scene and to find an artisan there is probably good news. Yes indeed, eco-scene is a good word. I wonder in passing if you know Olivier Dadure? He's very involved in the "alternative economy" gardening scene, his association is "le petit jardin des écoliers", site at http://lepetitjardin22.canalblog.com/. There's a "troc" this coming Sunday at la Ferté-Frensnel, I see. Olivier sent me a link to a recent article on him in Le Reveil (he's near Courtomer): http://www.lereveilnormand.fr/2015/0...arer-recycler- echanger-et-partager/ Might be of interest to you. Didn't see an old pump specifically, but he's got a huge amount of stuff. Prices vary, but negotiation is possible. Okay, on the site there is, in deed, little sign of pumps but I will call him up. I need to do that with « Normandie Pompes », too (Lonlay l'Abbey), and be it to have their opinion on the rotary pumps from England. Remember this guy is an old-time brocanteur though, so hold on to your wallet! We are not yet pressed to complete an installation for the greenhouse, but having all the tubes ready, a well which never dries out and ... rainwater (of all choices) in ample supply, I begin to feel a little dumb with my watering-cans. ;-) Heh. I know what you mean! [The poplar is feeling great, and all but one maple developped nice buds and leaves. I had moved them outside a month or two ago, already. Thanks again.] Glad the plants are going. Did you get them in the ground? I planted the remaining Purdom's poplars I had rooted, as well as the beginnings for a Japanese maple hedge (10 upright with good fall colours to start), all seem to be alive... If you want any replacement maples for what died, just let me know. cheers, -E -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |
