When the big tank isn't full he uses a sump pump (spelling anyone?) and fill the big tank from the smaller buckets. We have just been dipping and watering this winter. If we run out of water in the buckets, we will us the gravity fed to use water from the big tank. The big tank could be attached to a gutter, but it isn't in this case.Aunt Debbi/kurts momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663049154538571378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-21519205610339521752008-03-09T10:10:00.000-07:002008-03-09T10:10:00.000-07:00Goodness!
