I am planning an outdoor grow this season using cootz soil mix and have a few questions about watering.
I know it is ideal to use chlorine free water to support a living soil, but is it absolutely necessary? Basically I am wondering if I can use my city's water and still get good results?
From what the county water test I downloaded says, I have a very soft water supply with low ppm and only small amounts of chlorine added.
I would love to set up a drip system on a timer to make watering as easy as possible but if I can't use my water straight out the spigot I may have to figure something else out.
Here's a picture of the test
I have considered blumats but I'm not sure it would be practical for 6 plants in 50gal minimum each outdoors.
If anyone has any ideas on automatic watering methods I would love to hear them. Thanks!
