None of our Cambridge favorite strawberries have produced any fruit yet .
However the small Alpine
I've considered pumping but the brutal fact is that the bigger stream is 200+yds away with a smaller ditch/stream 100+yds away... pipe alone gets expensive at any bore that avoids drops from resistance plus the cost of burying it or a reel system to coil it up.
Local farmer delivered a 1000L eurotank one year which was just enough to give every plant a decent drink via watering can over a few days. Spraying would need at least 2 such tankfulls
It'd be more practical to stick 2 eurocontainers on my trailer with perhaps a PTO pump if one could find one cheap enough.. they can fill a eurocontainer in a couple of minutes (actually would take longer since the stream is small)....
If you have a small portable genny could you use one of the small ( £40 or so ) float switched sump pumps and take water from the small stream.
You'd be surprised at the amount of water available in a small stream that's only 2 inches deep .
I used to run a nuclear / chemical decontamination unit for NATO as well as the Brit armed forces . It was usually set up out in the middle of nowhere .
Many a time I'd just dig a three foot long ,foot deep trench a foot wide to make a sump in the shallow stream bed and set my screened intake hose in it . Getting 1500 litres of water every 20 minutes for the decontamination showers was never a problem .
