We live in Eastern Tennessee on a cliff above a river.
I would love to be able to pump river
water up for my raised
garden bed and small orchard.
It's basically straight down and then about 300 more feet to the water. The river curves and silt has built a flat floodplain beneath our cliff.
I cannot leave a submersible pump in the water because we have a few kayakers and rare boats. I do not want it to disappear.
I've looked into treadle pumps but was informed that they cannot pump more than 25-35 feet. Manual pumps interest me because of the exercise aspect. I would look into
solar but believe this still would require a submersible pump.
Any ideas I would definitely appreciate.
