NON-CHLORINATED WATER PLEASE

While chlorine won’t kill plants directly, its intent is to kill

bacteria and microorganisms! Compost tea contains these

bacteria and microorganisms that are necessary and

beneficial to plant health.

If you can, please take one of the following steps:

•

The easiest and most economical step is to let water set

out in an open container (a bowl or bucket with a large

surface area) for more than 24 hours. This is at a room

temperature of 70 degrees F or warmer (if the temperature is

cooler let it set longer).

•

If you don’t want to wait that long, you can boil water for

15 minutes or so and let it cool back to room temperature

prior to use.

•

Collect rain water.

•

Use water from an untreated well.

•

Use distilled water (Not bottled drinking water. It usually

still contains chlorine in the sealed container).

•

Run water through an active carbon filter (before mixing).
