When I only had a few plants in pots I used water from the canal. I could see
a big difference when I used this water instead of tap water. I still use in
on newly potted plants, seems to give them an extra boost. There must be extra
nutrients in this type of water, whether from the fish or fertilzer runoff from
everyones lawn.

I wonder if this may be partly due to chlorinated water versus
unchlorinated water in addition to the extra nutrients from pond water
or canal water....

I recently received a Charley's Nursery catalog and have been
contemplating their chlorine filter attachment for spigots.
