Hey guys and gals,
I've searched the forums high and low and can't find an answer.
I live in the rural south and it can sometimes go without raining for 4 or 5 weeks during July or August.
I have built a large rainwater storage tank that collects rain from a metal roof.. The water is clean, but I want to know about temperatures. If the water gets to be 90 to 95 degrees sitting in the tank, how will this affect my garden?
I have 2 choices, tap water with chlorine and whatever else they add, at about 70 degrees or clean rainwater at about 90 to 95 degrees...
I would prefer the rainwater at no cost and no chemicals, but I wonder about the temperature..
Can anyone give me a straight answer on this? Thanks
