Default Water restrictions and gardens

g'day george,

pretty much all mushroom compost straight from the farm i would expect
to be the same/similar product, so what may be in one i would expect
to find in another.

i have read that some say there are ph problems, but so far in all the
years we have used it all things have grown well, the pictures on our
page must show that? and the end result product as well.

salt is probably in everything even the natural landscape, and salt is
bandied around as someway to influence chat eg.,. there is a recipe on
our site to make liquid detergent for clothes etc.,. i contains 1 cup
of washing soda (salt), i've had people target that cup of salt (mind
you when the regular off the shelf items don't even list salt), and
say that this is not good to recycle in the garden.

we ahve used our grey water for over a decade even with off the shelf
items, and no problems as all our plants are always healthy.

and at the end of the day it leaves me pondering how one cup of salt
in 20 litres of product distributed through 6,400 litres of end
product grey water, spread over a whole garden. and our worm
populations have always been very good you don't get good results
without them.

how many gardenrs use fertilisers that contain sulphate? lots and lots
i would say, a scientific person once pointed out to me that when you
mix water with sulphate you get sulphuric acid, and those products
that contain that for the main probably have anyhwere between 5% & 20%
max of the other active ingredients.

so i guess i said all that to say observations and results just don't
support the negative camps theories.
