Third pump's the charm?
Got the new pump up and running today. It works great! Pressure and flow rate are consistent. Pressure is better than the outdoor faucet!
First order of business was filling the new pool for my daughter. Pool holds about 1000 gals. Did that in about 2 hours or less.
Planted new grass in the front yard, along with excess giant blue corn, green beans, giant pumpkin and more flowers.
In the garden, planted more flower seeds, cucumbers, multiple varieties of peppers and giant watermelon.
Then flooded front and back rather thoroughly. By this time, my yard is becoming a desert wetland. Going to continue in that direction unless I see evidence that too much water is becoming a problem.
Sodium is still an evident problem but becoming less so. Soil pH is improving, indicating sodium is being bound up or counteracted. Without new seeds sprouting, I'm up to 14 tomato plants now. Simply because some plants which had appeared dead revived and are growing. More corn and pumpkin plants coming up daily. Flower count is slowly increasing.
Still more to do. Haven't gotten the southwest and west sections hooked up to irrigation or planted yet. Try to get that done tomorrow.
