Note the San Diego tap water reads 0 to 5 ppt and that is what Norm
Meck called acceptable range.

Hal, these are great websites to have in a collection together (why I've
cut and snipped here. ;-)
I did find the salt tests on plants interesting, not just because of the
info, as I had seen this when it first came out, but Dr. Johnson's little
note at the bottom regarding water hyacinth & lettuce.
Soon after Bonnie came out with this report, explaining how she did it,
etc. I found personal discrepancy with WL & WH. I hadn't found my WH & WL
showing any affects at the rates she showed them dying. I e-mailed her
regarding the high nutrient need of these plants and if that (death by
starvation) couldn't have affected her results? I never got an answer. :-(
