Hi folks,
I've got a well for our water supply, and it is a bit slow (only produces
about 3 gal/minute). This is OK for normal use, but in the summer when I am
watering the garden, the draw is more than the well can provide.

I've spoken to a well company, and they have suggested hydro-fracturing the
well, but haven't told me what that really is..... Does anyone know?

thanks

Have a friend who had the same problem. He was told to fire a high
powered rifle down the well and the shock wave would fracture the
underlying rock. He did. The only thing that fractured was the PVC
well casing. So be careful about what others recommend.
