OK, maybe with others that cost a little more,
I might stand around wringing hands wondering what to do for a little while
before I “don the kilt”. But more than likely, in time, they too will be
taking that final dirt nap in the landfill or compost pile.
Well,
before you get too snooty, answer me this, do you have a water softener?
Most
well situations have water softeners, for reasons being that they get their
water from deep in the ground where it is hard and full of scale building minerals.
These need to be removed; and to do that involves salt.
A salt solution
is used to knock the “hardness” off the hardness attracting resin in the water
softener. During its recharge cycle this salt solution, with the knocked off
hardness, is then flushed out; but unfortunately never completely. You fill
your little watering can at the sink, and there is a good chance you’ve got
some salt specks hitching a ride to your plant watering destinations.
The best
water to use is freely falling from the sky, and you might want to start
gathering it now so you’re not melting snow come this winter.
You
can’t deny what the yard looks like after a gentle rain. There is just
something about sipping rain water the plants love. So start saving those milk
jugs and go out and gather some of that free crystal clear plant elixir the
next time it rains.
