Its dry where im at no rain water but I want to foliar spray anyways, my options are well water or water from a water softner. The water from the water softner is doctor approved for people who can't take too much sodium, you definately can't taste salt. The water from the well has a ph of 8 and is high in lime, iron, and magnesium. I want to foliar feed kelp meal with a little silicon supplement and bio-ag full power to boost my outdoor plants. What would you do in my situation?
I would much rather use the well honestly, I water my plants with it without adjusting ph all the time. I have always used rain water for foliar spray but I have none I just always added my stuff and sprayed I dont have anything to check ph I just know my well is a ph of 8.
Seems like it still uses some kind of salt, I wouldn't risk using it until you can verify what exactly it uses instead of sodium.
I have used both well and softener water to water and not had a problem. I try to use well water if I have it available. I am afraid of a build up in the soil of some mineral that is in the water softener salt. Possibly locking something else out. This is pure conjecture on my part. I would keep using the well water.
