Rain water

I just collected some rain water outside. Cuz it never rains in S. California. Do I have to boil this stuff before watering my plants with it and the PH is about 7.9 should I add some vinegar to it to get it to the 6's. thanks for the responces.

Hey Istayz. Dontcha love the rain? Its messing up the snow at the resorts though. Seems like years since it has rained this hard.
I use regular water so I have no opinion on that, sorry.
Wonder if they'd love it? Maybe I'll try that too.

I put a couple of containers outside after I posted and there's already sooo much collected! Im gonna water with it. Seems "natural". The plants outside seem to love it, then again they havent had water in months.

U know what Rocket...Fuck it if rain water is good enough for your babies they maybe good enough for mine. I just started my journal you should check it out. Later.

Here's my babies with some rain water...

Cute!! I'll check it out....

i use drinking water from the store....it goes through reverse osmosis, ozonation, steam distillation, and deionization so im fairly confident that most of the harmful agents are out of it.....rain is probably better than city water, but worse than distilled or filtered water....maybe more nutrient rich though...

What brand of drinking water is that?

Im pretty sure rain water has nitrogen in it. humm... yeah im perty sure


Goodluck to all of you <3

wal mart...in the aisle there are different kinds....if you get the drinking water [green label/ green cap] then that is what goes through the most treatment...if you look close at the labels it is better than the spring water and the distilled as far as how much it is treated.

Talk to any hippie that knows anything about anything and (s)he'll tell you all about how rain water is what they used.

Geez - i use just regular old tap water. you guys make me feel like i'm depriving my poor babies

i would only use vinegar in a pinch to adjust pH. The garden-safe pH adjusters are better for the plants and more reliable.

lol @ email

the local water supply around my area makes my leaves turn yellow...too much chlorine i think, so i started buying water.... one of these days i'm going to buy a reverse osmosis filter

We dont have a walmart in my city...haha


thanks though
