I'm growing hops with my BIL on his family's farm. He wanted them in some remote corner of a field with no water access, so I've been racking my brains on a viable system to keep them watered. So far I've been filling 5G buckets, hauling them out on a 4 wheeler and hand watering.
I'd really like to do some sort of rainwater collection system, but there's no building or anything to collect runoff from. Almost all the googling I've done shows rain barrels, not a mechanism for increasing the amount collected.
Does anyone have any brilliant ideas for a relatively inexpensive way to collect rain water when there's no building nearby?
