Rain Water Tanks

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

My primary business is to supply and install water storage / reticulation systems. Primarily water tanks are installed and connected to the gutters of a house. The rain water is easily collected and stored for use in the house or for gardening. Some installations require the use of a pump to feed the water and others simply use gravity to extract the water.

Some people only require small and simple installation for garden water. Others require larger and more substantial reticulation system incorporation automated pumps and filters.

It is my objective to provide turnkey solution for your water storage and distribution requirements.

My service includes sourcing material at best prices direct to the client without any mark up. I will get all materials delivered to site and then I carry out the installation in accordance with the clients requirements. I charge a daily rate for my work, which is tidy and efficient.

All I need is the opportunity to quote and offer my services!

One of the blessing of this trade is universal nature of  the skills set. For example measuring, working out how to fix something, what design is most appropriate. I have strong engineering ability. Design  and problem solving are one of my strengths.

Garden Tunnels

Sunday, September 13th, 2009


The veggie tunnel system is a simple project that allows people/farmers to grow their own vegetables in a relatively small area.  The project is centered in an innovative low cost shade tunnel that measures 4 x 9 meters.  While this project is very successful in rural areas, its small size even allows it to be used in congested urban zones. 
Long life cropping is undertaken on a simple hydroponics system in the veggie tunnels.  Seed or seedlings are planted above ground in bags, in either sand or untreated wood chips.  Twice daily, a liquid fertilizer is applied to each plant. 
We can quote to include the tunnel structure, bags for planting, delivery, set up, seedlings for the first crop, fertilizer, black plastic for ground sheet, training, and either sand or wood chips as a growing medium and a complete watering system fully installed. Training is provided along with all the supplies.
