Time to bring this thread back to the top.
Looks like I will be adding a water tank to the arsenal next year. Since we had such a dry summer this year, I figure that if I get a tank set up, it will be very wet next year

. Any idea where to find these things locally? I know that Northern carries them but shipping is like 50-60 percent of the item's cost because it has to go Truck Freight. Plus I just prefer to buy things local.
I am also going to invest in some Tree Gators. Whats the life expectancy of these things? A few seasons?
Thanks,
Eric
