    Watering Can from Apple Juice Jug

    If you drill holes in the top to a juice jug it still won't work very well as a watering can because of the vacuum. One solution is to poke a hole in the handle. Using a length of air hose to break the vacuum leaves the jug intact and sealable. This will also work with a glass jug.

    Does PH DOWN effect Microbial life in between feeds?

My problem is: I use well water that has a PH at around 7.8 which gave me fairly bad PH fluctuation issues early on as it is so high (leaves curling, spotting...
