J.R. on Nostr: Just want to put this out there and see if anyone has experience with using ibc totes ...
Just want to put this out there and see if anyone has experience with using ibc totes as a way to condition water for irrigation. Our well water is saline and it seems that the algae/ bacteria lock up the salts. The tote reduces evaporation compared with a pond. Although it is super ugly but provides some shade in the desert sun.
The take away is it has been working great for the last 4 months here is AZ with the caliche soil here. Leaves are huge on Artichokes, 1st year fruit!
