RE: The Aquaduct: Storing and Moving Water on the Homestead ~ Building an Irrigation system with Homestead Rescue

in #homesteading7 years ago

Most definitely! On the south west corner of the property it gets pretty wet with standing water in the winter. I want to dig a deep multi tiered pond and stock it with local trout. The pond would help with drainage and it would also be a stockpile of protein. And of course all of the water fowl and frogs etc. that will be drawn to it. I would also love to build a little Dock off of the shore so that my daughters can drop bobbers in the water and do some catch and release with the trout - or catch and eat. They would have so much fun doing that!

Sort:  

Yes to all of it! Dont forget about choice edibles like water chestnuts, watercress and lotus.

Good call! I will have to look into what works around here!
