Drought

[Pete Grey]

Yes i do live in the midlands, in our immediate area there are few water sources, a local pool 400 yds away has almost dried up and the spring i know of has dried completely, i could get water for watering the garden but as SS says it’s heavy stuff to lug about, i’m 74 reasonably fit but i don’t fancy carrying jerrycans a mile uphill.

My potable water storage is 160 litres in jerrycans 40 litres in the campers water tank. This is backed up with 600 litres in waterbuts, with sterilising tablets, sodium hypochlorite bleach, ceramic filter and the requirements for a slow sand filter. I would also use a couple of large tarps to collect rain water if necessary after an event.

I have a good selection of seeds in the fridge, would they keep longer in a freezer ?.
