October 24, 2011A.probably. salt might have a undesired effect, so i don't recommend it. tap water is more acidic than most so look at the needs of the plant. bottled water is probably ok because we of course drink it so it shouldn't be much of a problem

Certified ExpertA.Different waters have different minerals and nutrients. The well water most likely has more of the minerals and nutrients than the purified water. But either type of water is just fine for watering your plants.

December 5, 2011Q.Water pH
The water in my area is extremely hard. It is full of calcium and other minerals that drive the pH to 7. 5+. Is there a way to counteract this without having to add acid to the water every time? This is for outdoor plants and trees.

Certified ExpertA.One of the best ways to combat this issue is by using rainwater collected from a rain barrel or other large container. If this is not an option for you, then try using distilled water or allow your water to sit for a day or two before using it on your plants.

Certified ExpertA.It really depends on the system you have. I would recommend that you contact the manufacturer about this. They should have information available about how long you should run it for optimal watering.

April 11, 2012Q.drip line watering, how often for how long
We have a veggie garden in a long raised garden with a drip line. We are very unsure when to have the hose turn on and for how long. We live in Florida, and I thought we would water everyday. It's hard to measure how much is being dripped out of the hose. The plants just seem to be staying small, or maybe it's just early in the season. Any help would be great, as I don't want to kill all this hard work from over or under watering.

Certified ExpertA.Rather than watering everyday, try watering 1-2 times a week for long periods of time. The rule of thumb is 2" of water per week. Since you are on a drip system, I would recommend taking one of the lines out of the ground and measuring how long it takes to fill a small cup or jar to 2". That will determine how long to run the drip system for proper watering.
