Using a water well to insure the survivability of your garden is critical for larger gardens and truck patches.
Gardening with Well Water
Survival How-To
Watering your garden with well water will restore many valuable minerals and nutrients to both your plants and the tops soil. It is also much more cost effective and since well water lacks the harsh chemicals used to treat public water it is less stressful to the plants and safer for the environment.
The earliest wells are known from the Neolithic. In the submerged Pre-Pottery Neolithic B settlement of Atlit Yam in Israel, dated to 8100–7500 BC, a well has been found, which so far is the oldest known. Other PPNB wells (7–8 m deep) are known from Kissonerga-Mylouthkia on Cyprus and maybe shallower examples from Shillourokambos as well.
