Does your garden need a bigger tank?
Compare three ways to supply a 120 lb harvest within a $500 improvement budget.
Property assumptions and full comparison
Two people use 24 gal/day indoors. A 515 ft² roof collects 85% of rainfall. A 50 gal tank starts empty. A 250 ft² garden targets 45 lb beans, 50 lb carrots and 25 lb beets at 55% irrigation efficiency. Solar capacity is 2.2 kW, base load is 3 kWh/day. Goals require full monthly supply and 120 lb of harvest with the selected mix. Prices assume DIY installation and equal seed spending. Backup purchases, labor and maintenance are unpriced.
