28/ I'm joking. It's a capped off "dug" well. I.e. presumable 25 or 30 feet deep, and giving access to near-surface ground water. Considered unsanitary in CURRENT YEAR bc surface contamination (animal feces, spilled gasoline, road runoff) can reach that depth. However >>>
29/ in a SHTF scenario, it'd be nice to have access to that. With tractor running, it'd be a simple matter to lift concrete cap off with a chain and the bucket. In a DEEP TEOTWAWKI scenario, I suppose a lashed tripod and a chain hoist could get the job done

30/ LOL, derp, my bad! Compost aeration tubes literally got installed in pile 2 days ago. Zero data. Will know next spring. https://twitter.com/jabocka/status/1150458674546171904 …

31/ Well, yes, I've thought of this. But "just do 16 hrs labor and spend $1,000 on a pump and solar cells and piping and electrical and and and..." conflicts with "need to weld the brushhog and fence in the orchard and build shelves and and and..." https://twitter.com/0pfour/status/1150462038860128256 …

32/ Given that I already have a well, and a street power, and battery backup power, and a tractor with a PTO generator, and 10 g diesel on hand to fuel it, and 250 gal heating oil (which the tractor can burn), and and and and, this "fully equip a second well" is not in top 10
33/ Also, how much work should I do to further optimize for the 1 in 1,000 scenario, vs work to optimize for the 999 in 1,000 scenario. I.e. building bookshelves, on average, helps me more.

34/ How exactly does equipping a second well and using that to water my garden save me money over ... using my first well to water the garden? https://twitter.com/0pfour/status/1150462963913854976 …

35/ Have you owned goats? I have. How, exactly, are goats going to weed AROUND and BETWEEN my pumpkin plants? How, exactly, do I stop them from eating and/or trampling the pumpkins? How do I keep them from wandering off?https://twitter.com/spongeworthy2/status/1150481105784582145 …

36/ I !@#-ing hate the phenomena of third hand received wisdom internet prepper / farmer / back-to-the-landers. Hoes exist for a reason, and it's not that 19th c. (and 2nd c.!) farmers didn't know of the existence of goats. Different tools for different jobs.
