What is everyone using for an off grid watering system.
We are not living full time at the lake (yet) so we are looking for suggestions for an off grid watering system with a timer or something to regulate the water.

U can use a rainwater catchment system with irrigation lines that run on timers to all your garden beds. Fun weekend project.

I've seen systems set up with 45 gal barrels and a drip irrigation system (very small holes drilled into and along the line) that requires no electricity - simple and easy to do and like naturelover 66 says - nice simple weekend project

I have a RV pump plumbed in for our ecco temp shower. I think i will spice into that shower supply line and run it through a timer then into some small drip irragation lines.
I can get a timer and 30 drip irragation heads for about 70 bucks online. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks for the replies.
