Rodney, the variables are so great that you really have to put a submeter on the water line where it branches off to the garden to have an accurate measure.
Leslie Pohl-Kosbau Portland Community Gardens -----Original Message----- From: Rodney Bender [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2004 12:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [cg] (no subject) Hi, I'm trying to figure out an estimate of the average amount of water used in a 6880 sq. ft garden at an apartment complex. The water for the complex and for the garden are billed together so it's difficult to assess how much of the water is being used in the garden. Does anyone have information regarding the number of gallons or CCF of water used per month or per growing season in a community garden and if so, what is the sq/ft. of that garden?
