Join me in the garden today as I show you our simple but incredible solar powered, off-grid water setup. Using rainwater capture, a spring and a pond, we’re able to pump water and store it all over our garden throughout the year. Watch to see how we do this, and enjoy the moment I soak myself with a high pressure Gardena pump!

This is awesome 😀 thanks Huw!!!
Nice job – been looking forward to this video.
Quick question: what's the diameter and height of the fence posts you're using as the support for the IBC covers? Planning similar job imminently. Cheers from a dry (for once!) West Yorkshire.
Arhhhhhh! This solar pump set up might just be a solution for us. We pump into a tank on a hill. Then pump from there to hand water the flower field… very time consuming and have to run power cords!!
dig a wel!!!but get permission,here in Germany about 20 years ago I dug a well and got permission from the local council and water people "wasserbehörde" we pay 130 euros a year to water our fruit and veg with a similar pump to yours
Trying Richmond Green Apple and Lemon Cucumbers this year. My golden beets are looking great, thanks for that tip. Just grilled radishes for the first time based off you raving about the beets and loved them!
Wow! Very good.
£560 is a bit steep, sadly they don't have small pumps, I just need one to go from water butt
One wonders how much this set-up costs – can't be cheap.
Subtítulos en español por favor. Gracias
make a V bend with the hose and grab the crease with your hand to stop the water and not get wet when connecting open hoses!!
The solar pumps and redundant water supplies are brilliant.

Exciting to waiting the strawberries 😁
Wow, what type of strawbs are those?
