[QUOTE="gabby, post: 839273, member: 553"] Hey Bubba, I'm afraid you would have to spend more than you can justify. It takes 28,000 gallons of water to put 1 inch on one acre and artificial water is less effective than rain, so you would need 2 or 3 inches of irrigation water for every 1 inch of rain and it still won't green up like it will with rain. I have about a half mile of underground 6 inch pipe and a pto pump at one of my ponds, but I quit using it because it's so much trouble and so much less effective than rain. I just sweat out the dry spells like this one we're having right now. gabby [/QUOTE]
