Little off topic, we noticed BIG difference when we water the plants with
rain water(we collect it from down spouts, we have 3 barrels storing rain
water) and using softened or regular tap water.
Rain water is best.

Even more off topic ...........

I have a new Kinetico softener in the house. Had I been eligible to vote on
the thing, I would have gotten a much cheaper model from the Borg or online.
But that's another issue for another thread.

I have the luxury of irrigation water. A 1 1/2" line off the 14" main that
supplies irrigation water to all the rural residences in my area. I pay
$100 per year, no metering. So, all outside hose bibs and water manifolds
are tied into this line. Anything I can attach to the line and as much
water as I can run through it. I run MaxiPaw Rainbirds on the yard. Nearly
five dozen bubblers to the trees. On some of the stations, I am maxed out,
so I run them more frequently.

Sometimes living at the end of the road has its advantages.
