I recently made some raised beds for gardening by digging out the foot paths(about a foot deep and 2.5ft wide) and dumping the dirt adjacent to create the raised bed. However, those sunken foot paths collect tons of water after a rain. Initially I was thinking about how I can drain that water away but now I'm thinking, why don't I just get a pump which can pump that water back up onto the beds during the growing season, and connect to a drainage hose to divert water away in the winter. The problem is, I don't know the first thing about pumps. So, I'm hoping that someone in the pond thread has experience with pumps and can give me an idea of what kind of pump I need. And hopefully it can be solar powered. I'm all ears!
