thank you all for your valuable contributions. we settled on one tablespoon per gallon and wait at least 30 min but more towards an hour...just cause we are moving so slow in this heat *grin*.
once again i am so profoundly grateful for our silver, our generator from ode that time and time again makes wonderful silver even tho we have the older prototype for a gallon that he designed for us...knowing he has made many improvements since then but ours is like a timex...takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. drill a new well...arg and hooray. our well has never been the same since they blasted a mile long tunnel three miles from here (for a new bypass) several years ago. when it rains heavy our water is almost mud...and increasingly more of a sulfur smell. hopefully with the new well we will have water improvement quality. in the process of reading about wells last night learned much valuable info on collecting ground water...for the eventual time when electricity may be absent. there are more ways to collect it than on the roof...so an exploration in progress. now to check out the first well driller coming in a few...and already i don't like him...as he is pushing for a well 200 feet more than we need...the good ole boy sales pitch. boy will he be surprised when he comes and all that i have learned terms wise...gotta love the info highway of the internet. this evening the other fellow will call and these brothers come the most highly recommended and only 50 cents more a foot. from what i hear they don't push to over drill and are very lovely to work with. keeping fingers crossed. i just have a real aversion for the slick good ole boys...as i have dealt with them many times over the years...they play on your ignorance. again, thank you everyone...on both silver list...which i will cross post this to the other list also. a rose...
