Ground cover. The climbing things don’t need me to plan them. I am in Northern Ontario Canada.  Couch grass is everywhere & incessant. Is an endless battle.  A lovely aggressive ground cover that can drive back the couch would be grand.

Is it possible to do this on my iPad. I don’t know anything about those things you’re asking for except how to name the files. I am in Northern Canada on wood heat. Very low temps.

That’s an Insane cost to be self employed. Never heard of such a thing before. They try to control everyone over there. I would lose the words “freelance” & start thinking out of the box. Where I am most of the self employed people work for cash only & word of mouth. Certainly on their own terms & not the governments. The word free in front of lance suggests low to no cost. So don’t like that word.  I would work word of mouth until you’ve got enough regular cash flow to cover all your bills & can well afford to register a business.  I would also look at the tax advantages of both wAys of doing business to see which best benefits you.

Hi Buster. Thanks for That. I must admit to not really understanding it all.  I’m not a technical person myself. I will pass it along to my well person for his thoughts. As mentioned my well is in the middle of the driveway. A bad spot. So all solutions must be pretty sleek.

Thank you Al Aric.  I couldn’t figure out how to post directly to you. I am new to posting here. I have a similar issue. I know no one who has this type of deep pump and they are very expensive..also I am in Northern Ontario in Canada so this morning it was -38 degrees which could freeze up a hand pump.  My well guy says my well is 225’ but the water is gushing from the 40 ft level so there is no need to go down to the 225’. Which saves a good bit of money on the pump. Don’t know if you’re aware of level your water starts at but potentially this could help.  Simple Pump has suggested we go down to 54’ in case the water table should change.

So far I am finding Simple Pump more responsive, helpful & knowledgeable. Couldn’t get as good a response at Bison. I will post here the results of all our deliberations and due to frozen ground here we will not be able to install the pump until early or mid May I believe.  However final outcomes may not be known until after the winter of 2023.

Thank you Cristobal. I will forward this to my well guy to hear his thoughts on it. I will also question the Simple Pump people to hear what they have to say. Simple Pump sent me some written info so I think that would make it a bit more credible..I am leaning towards their pump, but would love to speak to someone’s who has had one for a period of time.

Thank you Cristobal Did the Bison pump people make a claim that you could pump water to your pressure tank or was that something you just guessed at?
I have been talking today with the Simple Pump people.  They are claiming I can pump to my pressure tank.  No way to know if that is correct and it might be impossible to do here in my very cold winters.
Thank you for the info it is very useful for my process and it was the most important question currently in my mind about buying a pump system.
