Yeah, I heard of that method. I can't do it because of all the water involved would flood our liberal neighbors. I've tried to see how low the water table is and it's iffy. I think that you need a pump if the water is more than 25 feet deep and it's likely more here, maybe as much as 35 feet.

I don't know what your ground is like but Erich has put in a well this way and so have a bunch of people in Rockport. They get up high ( ladder or a second story), put a sand point on a piece of PVC, and run a pressure washer in the pipe and just keep pushing it down. In Rockport it's sand but also a clay strata and they get through that until they hit good water. We have a regular well here on the farm but also have the original hand dug well that is brick lined that they used until 2003.

I'm listening to that 6-hour video now (I'm not sure I'd recommend it yet) but I'd like to put in wells on our property, though the water table might be too low for shallow water table methods.
