[Cob] Land

[Lee Shultz]

Most people that are out of town a bit have a well. I've heard that 250 ft or more is the depth. Rain farming would work, also, as they have a rainy season in the late summer. If you are close enough to town you can get hooked to the public water supply. I prefer to have my own well.
 
See ya,
 
Bev

Wow!  Such great ideas and suggestions from everybody!  Thank you all
for the great responses.  I think I am just going to have to do some
traveling to see some of these places.  The climate in the Silver City
area sounds great, and the scenery even better.  I will definitely keep
that in mind.  I am assuming that the heat is a dry heat, rather than
humid, which I like better.  What do most people do for water, drill a
well?  And how deep I wonder....

Thanks, Teresa
