We have a 3 acre old growth pond that our property backs up to. I’m thinking if I can use the water in it to water my raised bed that the rich water micro-organisms would help work as organic fertilizer. Is this a good idea? If so, does anyone know how to do this with a manual pump? I’m thinking maybe hand pumping it up to a 50 gal. drum and letting the water gravity feed down to the plants. I’m currently using that small tubing with micro drippers and think that the pond water would clog them. Filtering it would defeat the purpose. The distance from pond to garden beds is about 40 yards with about a 1 ft incline plus the height of the drum. Would this handpump work?
