Our 1 Acre – One Veggie Patch at a Time

Rain Gauge

May 2nd, 2009 AndrewD

After 18 months and good rainfall the last two weeks of April (90 mls for the month)  I decided to get a water gauge, and obviously to record how much rain we do receive her at One Green Acre. I plan to store this info in an online Google spreadsheet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Docs). Hopefully I will discover how to embed a spreadsheet here into the website.

Our location is higher than the actual main street of town, and sometimes it can be wet down there (only 2kms away, if that) and not a drop here, so there is probably differences in the rainfall that is recorded by the BOM. The location of mine is in the vege patch away from any trees and houses.

Of course the day we bought the rain gauge, the rain was ending and since then there has been nothing in it, not a single drop.
