My plants are 1 month and 5 days old i have been feeding them nothing but culligan water and all purpose maricale grow will this effect my plants in a bad way
The manufacturer recommends using the water for only one day. I’m especially concerned because we use it for our five month old baby. We don’t let him drink the water but he does splash around a lot. We’ve been emptying the pool water on the lawn and decorative garden so I’d like to avoid adding lots of chlorine or salt or anything that would kill plants, or just dumping all the water down the drain.
I’m growing these babies indoors, four immature garlic plants in two semi-large pots. They seem to be functioning pretty well off of the water I’m giving them- about enough to make water just start to spill out the bottom once every other day- but should I be watering them more or less often than that?
Do you have any tips for this newbie gardener once he decides to move these plants from pot to soil? Do deer attack garlic plants?
I am in Noida, India. I have some plants at home. When I go for vacation for 1-2 weeks, the only way to water the plants is to ask some neighbor to do that. But it doesn’t always work out good. Does anybody know an economical way to water the plants automatically in my absence? I have heard of automatic watering kits available in US but have not seen in India.
Wonderful suggestions. Thanks everybody for sharing great innovative ways to water the plants during vacation.
I tried the thread based water but that didnt work out that well, possibly because the plants were exposed to sun.
I am trying out the inverted soft drink bottle approach now.
My last resort will be the bath-tub one.
Thanks a lot everybody again.
I have some plants out in a garden and need to water them often, when is the best time to water them? I have heard that you shouldn’t do it on hot sunny days and you’re only supposed to do it in the morning or in the afternoon when the sun is not out. Is that true or can I water them any time during the day?
My lawn is really dry too and is starting to turn yellow, are there any tips on how to water it or what kind of sprinkler to buy?
My cats keep wanting to drink out of the toilet, plants and dirty water outside. Everywhere but their water dish. I was thinking that perhaps my cats are craving water with minerals in it? I wanted to see if they like the water better if I put mineral water in…
I do not want to throw away water i used in washing (rinsing) clothes or the dishes. But I’m afraid my plants will die if I water them with water with traces of detergent. Is there a way of treating the used water at home without the expensive mechanical water treatments? I read activated carbon can remove some, but not all chemicals from water.
I need help building a large cement "trough" of sorts which will hold water for a very large papyrus plant that is currently taking over my pond. The trough will be approximately 6 feet long by 3 feet wide by about 3 feet tall. I have purchased cement and already have chicken wire for support. My question is what is the best way to get it to retain water without using a product which will be detrimental to my papyrus. Is this something I even need to worry about since I have plants that I water daily right next to the location this will go to and I can just top off what is missing every morning when I water. Any input is welcome and appreciated! Thanks!
i am doing a school project about plants and i need to know if a plant needs anything special in spring water, faucet water, nor lake water!!!! 
I have tried to root several cuttings from several plants with very little luck. Could it be that we have very hard water? Should I use bottled water? We can’t afford to buy a water softener.
we have been using bottled water because someone said well water with softener would kill the plants, the cost is getting to much for bottled water,so I need to hear from someone who would really KNOW,not just guessing. there are just too many plants to risk losing.
what about tap water? it it harmful to plants? what are the alternatives?
why or why not.explain.
I am doing a project on how different types of water can change the amount of plant growth ( like one plant ,I would mix the water with aspirin ,and another I would mix the water with milk ) But I just want to know what temperature of water would work the best …or can you tell me what might happen to the plants with the aspirin and water ?
We recently got a 2.5 gallon filtered fish tank from a friend and have 4 goldfish in it. The first day the water is perfectly clear, however, by the second day it is cloudy. No algae, just cloudy water. I have purchased a new "discard-a-stone" and am using the clouride drops for tap water. I have not used any soap to wash it, and there are no live plants in it.
Any suggestions?
I’ve got some small fountains in my apartment which I use distilled water for and I just water the plants at the same time, with same water.
Good..Bad…or …doesn’t matter?
