good morning garden heads,
i've got an off the wall question, but I'll bet that
even though it's weird, there will be those with an
answer. Let's see how much detail we can wring out of
this one. haha
When I empty out 10 gallons or so of my 30 gallon fresh
water tank each week for cleaning, purposes, that water
looks pretty scuzzy. It's full of dead food, the
occasional dead fish, ;-(
an awful lot of bacteria, which is both generated and
added in each week by me, fish manure, I guess,
AMQUEL aquarium detoxifier - stuff to take the chlorine
out, water conditioner to stabilize the ph, and I
cannot read the label on that one to tell you what it
is, plant-gro fertilizer at .03-0.8-0.8, and water
conditioner with ferrous iron.
Of course, I've been dumping this water on my plants and
garden. I'm assuming this is a very good thing. Any
thoughts? Opinions? Feedback?
BTW, I want to thank all the people that wrote me
privately, in response to my postings on here, during
the long and dark holiday season that just passed. I've
been quite ill, and have developed s few new medial
diagnoses to add to the ones I already had. I was
quite afraid, and lonely and alone. THings are starting
to improve over here, and I am leveling off, but it will
be a couple of months before health status levels off.
The it should be better than before. What more could
anyone want? I mean, if ya gotta be sick.......how about
something treatable?
