First rain for months last night - 20mm, not insignificant.
2 days ago I bought a 12V submersible pump & a 1000L IBC container. I filled it with water from my pond & put it on some young fruit trees that were struggling in the dry spring heat.
The weather bureau is predicting rain & storms for the next 3 days.
Oh well, at least I've figured out a way to use my pond water.
