Jay, Cisterns
have been used for centuries to store drinking water. They are usually in
the ground where they can stay cool, dark and enclosed. Using one for
irrigation could easily be done. They are usually concrete and hold
thousands of gallons of water, but can be even a 55 gallon plastic barrel.
They must stay cool, dark and enclosed to keep out critters and insects.
A little beach occasionally keeps the algae down. Maury Sheets Woodland Hydroponically producing sustainable salad

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of JAY GJERSETH Sinc we are on the subject of water storeage does anyone have any
advice about rainwater storeage?How long before it becomes a stagnant mosquito
breeding grounds and how do I prevent this.I work on a much smaller scale than
most of you.(I'm working on my spin farming techniques) and so far Ive just
used buckets and smaller containers since we had a very dry May.Ive obtained a
large plastic container(approx.150gal)and since we have had rain 3 out of 4
June days I hope to preserve some of it.Thanks for any advice or
suggestions. Im not in production yet so I hope to get things set up this
year,(raised beds,small green house,stand,zoning,etc.)and so far tour advice
has been a great help.Im sure Ill need alot more so THANKS in advance.
