Paph problems
Interesting Mark? How much Apple Cider Vinegar do you use in proportion to
water? Cheers Wendy "Mark Prout" wrote in message ... | 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. | | On 1/29/03 12:49 AM, in article APKZ9.76097$rM2.43834@rwcrnsc53, "Jerry | Hoffmeister" wrote: | | Not really trying to escape anything except chlorine.

I figured the same but was suprised when it read | higher on the TDS meter than the tap water. And yes, we're blessed here in | Seattle with great water!
