Hi Ranchmama; You can automate your watering if you have a slope down to the hay pen or you can use an old fashioned water tower with delivery pipe size reduction to enhance pressure. Sounds like you could use a solar powered electric fence around the plot as well. If you want a bio on me squatting of 12 acres in the 3rd mountain range from the Pacific in B.C. just click on my website. I also have a large selection of my personal library there. The floors are starting to groan so something has to go. Regards Ed Muckle grower@nethop.net www.21stcenturygardener.com -----Original Message----- From: bsk <bsk@brightok.net>
