Glad I re-plumbed.

Deb,
Don't use the soft water on the garden or any of your plants. The water
that runs thru the softener has the natural chemicals of the water removed
when it goes thru the softener. Those are some of the natural things that
plants need from water to survive. Using softened water will give any of your
plants a slow death of lack of nutrition.

This year I re-did some plumbing so the outdoor faucet that I use for the
pumpkins and veggie garden does not go through the softener. ( Another
mystery
of the builders regarding running both outdoor faucets through the
softener.)
Obviously there is rust in the water as most people with private wells
knows.
Is that a problem using straight well water? At this point in the game
nothing
will help, but I was curious.
