kiwiplymouth Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Rain? What's that? :roll: I know the feeling. My tanks are empty, I had 65,000L I am now using water from the local river which we normaly use for irrigation only. I have just used it to do water changes on 20 tanks and im a little worried :-?

We only got 8mms, Boss made me undersow about a 10th of the farm on Thursday, he wanted them sprayed out this Tuesday but now with rain and warm humid morning I'd say they'd have all germinated by now..... Yeah, knowing this place it'll start raining and not stop.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeyedfrog Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 KP I hope all your tanks are ok . It's a worry all right. I've been putting off water changes but you have to do it in the end. Carlos- Nah out here by the rain goes around us. We can see it raining across the harbour and in the hills but nothing out here. We were doing ok til the bore dried up then slight panic. Take it for granted till its gone eh. We can go without washing as much etc but its the stock that's the worry. I really feel for some of the farmers around. The sun's back out again but the grounds still wet so might get some green grass this week.

The water goes through a 20 micron filter then a 1 micron filter then a 50w uv sterilizer so most of the nasty's are removed before the water gets into my tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 we were out in the BOI on the Ipipiri when it started raining didn't last for long though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnie Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 We are very dry in South Island. My paddocks have no new growth and wont get any now. have been feeding out for months. Lack of rain real bad but now we all have to fight these huge dairy conversions that water their land 24hrs day. lets hope it changes soon.
