Our water softener is connected directly after the well tank and

Most people only soften the water going to their water heaters.
Soft water is primarily of benefit in washing skin, clothes, or
dishes, not for cold water uses (unless you only wash your
clothes in cold water). Therefore the water is normally diverted
before it goes out to the sprinkler system, (assuming you
irrigate only with cold water), leaving your sprinkler system
water hard. However, depending on what minerals make the water in
your area hard, there might be other issues. For instance, some
hard ground water in some areas also can make the soil alkaline
or otherwise inhospitable to plants. Maybe you want to check how
things were done in your installation. "Schooner"

We just had a water softener installed in our home and I had
read where the sodium in the softened water could kill plants
if used extensively. Has anyone heard anything of this?

You filter the ultraviolet from your water?
