Hi, Gang,

I'm very sorry, I completely forgot that I always, for 20+ years water only, 
absolutely with rain water and nothing else.  It is so ingrained in my mind, 
like second nature, that i never remember to tell people.  I use rain water
on 
everything I grow including orchids.  On last wormer days before frost I
collect many gallons and store it for winter use.  Thanks, Karen for
reminding me.

Barbara
