Re: well vs. softened water

I grew my personal best, 901-1/2 pounds, on well water with lots of magnesium in it. Plus rocks and who knows what all. I can't get my clothes clean, but the pumpkins don't mind a bit.

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.
