When choosing a property to buy for a new homestead, water is one of the most important things to consider. If you plan on keeping livestock, growing a garden, or being self sufficient in any way, you must have a good source of water, preferably more than one.
We have a well that has a hand pump on it, but we also have two ponds that have trouble holding water during droughts. We also have a windmill that isn't hooked to a water source, so we want to drill a well for our windmill to keep our ponds full. This man has an interesting lesson on how to drill your own well. I haven't tried it yet, but we hope to do so in the spring.
Have any of you ever used this method, and if so, what did you learn from it?
