I have set up a 20x48 foot greenhouse with drip irrigation. However it is 300 feet from the dug well I plan on using for a water source.
My question is what is everyone running for water pumps? I am overwhelmed with choices and want to keep it as cheap as possible.
I'm good at DIY and would like to be able to irrigate about 3000 square feet this year.

I'm a little confused... There's not a pump in your well? Don't you have a pressure tank?

I have a separate well for the house currently. I am lucky to have 3 wells on the property but this is the closest.
I am looking to run the system separately so I do not stress the main pump.

How about a regular well pump and pressure tank like you have for your house? You have a big greenhouse and want to irrigate a large area. Sounds like you are growing a lot. Get something reliable like you would for your house.
