Hi! My friend is a farmer at Oasis on Ballou in Dorchester. I have been working there with him on the weekends sometimes. The irrigation backflow system leaks like crazy (it is above ground) to the point where we can only run the hose to water plants for about 2 minutes before we have to turn it off to pump water out of the two five gallon buckets that fill up in that time. If we could fix it the leak, then we could also use the drip irrigation system instead of watering by hand with a hose - which of course wastes water and time! Thanks so much... if you need more info, contact me, I have a video. This is the most inefficient way to water the farm and he has put in a work order request with the landlord over a year ago and it still has not been fixed. Thank you Timebankers! Let me know if you think you can fix the leaky irrigation system, and we will cover the cost of parts.
