Drilling of the Well

So we have been drilling on the farm for a new well for over two days now, and still no water! We have all of these amazing irrigation plans mapped out that are rearing to go on the farm this year; including buried pipelines, driplines that hang from the ceiling in the greenhouse(and all of that fancy kind of stuff).

Well, 300 ft, no water. 400 ft, no water. 500 ft, no water. 600 ft, no water. Yikes!

So needless to say, all we are left with is a big hole in the ground. So now we are weighing the options of hydro-fracturing the well, or possibly digging a new one.

I am just about ready to grab a stick and start dowsing for water! So fingers crossed, and hoping to find a gusher!
