Botanist who works for land management in Mojave desert, so my outplantings need to be supplementally watered. Carrying buckets or using a backpack is far too laborious.
We have a water buffalo with a broken pump. The problem with just fixing the pump is that it becomes a pressure washer, and blows the poor plants to high hell if I try to use it as is.
I can’t figure out a way to lower the pressure enough to be suitable for plants (it used to work, but changing to thicker hoses didnt sufficiently reduce psi).
Maybe a transfer pump? Whole new buffalo?
What do y’all use to water your large restoration sites? Front country, so road access is no issue. Thanks!
