Gidday Yep SongBird, sure is. I made one about 20 or 30 years ago for my own garden and still use it now. As it is made out of copper pipe and there are no moving parts id just don't wear out. The only thing that is mot metal is the plastic hose fitting and the ones I make to sell have a rubber hand grip but mine has never had any grip, just bare pipe. StrongTower, it is for watering your garden. Lets you put on heaps of water very quickly without blowing your plants out the garden. Have a look at :- www.kiwicraft.com/aquajack/ |

Actually I was told it would take about 15 days.

I got my secret weapon today. A heaping truckload of goat manure. Been sitting since fall and ready to grow BIG maters in. I got it spread over all the beds in my big garden. Big is relative. I saw Phil's pics. It came full of red wigglers. My friend and machinist raises goats and has been offering me this stuff for a while. He lives 40 minutes out and I always put him off. He said the magic word FREEBIE and I was there in a flash. He gets $75.00 a load delivered for the fresher stuff. Talk about black gold! Luckily he is an artist like me and wants me to save him metal scrap from my shop so he can weld up his garden art items that he sells. Then we can trade for future loads. Glad I went. I never get out. He said he side dresses tomatoes and garlic with the fresh stuff and it never burns his plants. Anybody here try it and can support that statement? Here is a pic of my garlic with the gold on the bed. I would show you my maters, but they aren't ready for primetime yet.  |

Hip, hip, Hooray for Jack!!
