| Hey Y'all.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with using municipal water for a sizable market garden ( I have over an acre and some rows that are 100 feet). We have a decent riser that has I believe a 2" pipe going to it but the blocks are all spread out and just have garden hoses going from the riser to individual blocks. It takes several hours to get a good soaking with this system and most of the blocks just be split into sections of 8-12 rows as well.
This is my first year on the plot and I'm realizing the water cost has been prohibitive. I've come across a few potential options such as using a booster pump (or two or...) or running hundreds of feet of poly tubing to each block to maybe create a bit less friction loss. Has anyone had any experience with this? What did you do? How about anyone ever use a chlorine filter... What kind?
Thinking of maybe switching this plot over to mainly growing perennial herbs anyway but would be nice to fix some of this either way. Thanks in advance for your help and happy growing!
