How bad is hard well water?

I keep running out of bottled water.

What if I only use the well water a few times, will that hurt them?

well water is very hard and has high EC/ TDS this water is less than desireable for growing.

It's bad? learn new things everyday. but bottle water doesn't have any micro orgism that could hlep with root growth

I've always heard from hippis that rain water is the best water to use, Not sure if it really does help, but when ever it rains i put out a blow to gather it.

you dont want shit in the water, you add these with the soil well water has lots of lime calicum and is prone to lockup due to high ppm

Start out with good water i use water drawn from a high grade RO filter

invest in some ozarka 5 gallon bottles also as they will help you stock pile water. a good RO filter can make 15-50 gallons of water a day depending on quality desired
