pigs love meat, especially offal. I've thrown mine dead snakes and all sorts of stuff, slaughter waste from rabbit butchering, etc. They love it.

you might look at pond liners for irrigation/animal water. We have bought potable tank liners ($800 shipped for 6,000 gallons) and EPDM pond liners for tanks that don't go tot the house supply. The...

I think it depends on your local climate and setup. We don't get a lot of dust or birds, here, but other people do. We also don't have any trees around the house, and that helps a bit, too.

We...

yeah, we do, the roof sits on the angle iron inside the rim of the walls. It catches about 120 gallons per inch of rain. Not a whole lot, but still something.

not in about 15 years. Sometimes I wish I could, but the closest place is about 2 hours away, and I don't think they deliver to the mountains.

ok, cool, thanks

That's the link to the full photo gallery of how we build our tanks. The cost is low for the amount of gallons you can store, and if you cut off the light and include a potable...

can I link to a photo gallery on Flickr? It's not my site, but has some of my content there, especially for something like this water cistern. It is a pain to have to go through the photos and...

wait, what?
so, someone can copy and paste stuff from copyrighted material and not include a link to the source, and that's ok? but linking to a real-life relevant page is not ok?

We are in the Chihuahuan desert, and only get rain from July through October. We have no other water source than rain catchment on our property. So, yes, it is a big deal for us, and through many...

yeah, that's cool. My site has hundreds of pages and tons of how-tos, so it is a bit inconvenient for someone that wants to jump straight to the relevant information.

I guess spam is different for everyone, but to me, linking to a page that doesn't sell anything and gives instructions for making a rainwater tank is relevant and not spam.

But, apparently, that's...

I honestly didn't know that posting a relevant url that gives clear and free instructions on how to build an inexpensive water tank was off limits or against the rules. I figured relevant sources...

well, we don't offer anything for sale, just tons of free information about us living off the grid for 13 years, now. I thought free instructions for building a rain catchment tank was relevant to...

We had less than 1" of rain between October 2012 and July 2013. But, now that July is here, the rain season has started, which means that it is Spring, here!

We received about 2.5" of rain in the...

thank you!

ok, email sent, thank you. I don't know what they deal is, but I think this server and my mail server must have an issue with each other, cause I'm not getting the thread update emails, either.

I registered today, and I have been waiting for the activation email. It has not arrived after several hours. So, I decided to look in my account, and my email address is correct. I followed the...
