I used a siphon to drain some rain collectors today at home so I could move them (the taps are a bit wank - long story). I got a gob full of rank water twice, but I used to keep tropical fish and that was worse 8)

- sircastor 2y agoI remember chatting with a guy growing a decent garden on y his property. He had these tubes he’d force into the water, place his hand on the end, and pull back. He’d repeat the motion rapidly a few times and then lay the pipe down from the source into trenches between his plantings. It was obvious once you saw it, but not a technique I would think intuitive.
- gerdesj 2y agoI know how pressure works but I think there's a small hole in the hose wall. My garden has a series of drops in it. I once leapt over a low wall and down 10' on to a path four feet wide (with another drop the other side), whilst holding my thumb over the end of a hose. I'm 10 years older now and don't do ninja gardening any more. Rain water with a frisson of rotting veg, some dead insects and a hint of sulphur isn't the worse thing I've tasted but I wouldn't recommend gargling the stuff.
