My experience of digging a water well on my own
Good day everyone, I had a need to have a well in my garden and I decided to dig it myself, yes a solo well digging project... Got basic tools like crow-bar, Indian spade, and buckets. Let it roll... Day 1: 6th August 2017 I really don't know how to start and how wide the well should be, I just selected a corner of my garden and started to dig 2 foot wide and ended up digging 2 foot deep in 1hour. Day 2: 8th August 2017, 5:30 PM Came early from office and decided to work for few hours. Changed to farm clothes and started digging. Found that 2 ft wide is not good enough to freely move around the pit, so I made it 2.5ft wide and it was ok to move around for digging. Today I ended up adding 1ft deep. Summary: 2.5ft wide x 3ft deep Duration: 90min Day 3: 11th August 2017 It was a cloudy evening when I came to the garden. When I started digging, it started raining, it was a steady rain for about 2 hours. Made the well a bit wider, and now it is 3ft wide. D
