Hi 👋

I have some new plants that don’t like lime in the water but my tap water is quite hard, anyone suggest the easiest and cheapest way to make my tap water more suitable for these plant babies? Thanks 😊

I got a rain barrel this year and it’s better a game changer! You can make one or order them from your local big box store

Like seriously, how sad people try to control natural resources that should be available for everyone….

I use a brita! My plants love it! I do buy the elite filters though which are more expensive (but also last longer) than the regular filter. I used to leave my water sit out over night but as my collection kept growing bigger I tried using a Brita so I didn’t have to worry about making sure I leave enough water out to sit…
