| That's a good question, Wendy, as straight vinegar is a marvelous
herbicide!

| | We have pretty basic water here in KC. Nearly pH 9. No problem with
| salts
| if
| | I flush well when watering. I used bottled distilled for my brachys
| though.
| | For all else, I just lower the pH of the tap water with apple cider
| vinegar,
| | a natural acid with some bonus micronutrients as well. The phals love
| it.

it

| | What is in Seattle's water you are trying to escape?
