Day 56: #grownostr initiative

It finally rained and gave my garden some much needed pure water. The rain water contains nitrate, the most bio-available form of nitrogen and is slightly acidic with a pH range of 5.5-6.5--perfect for most plants. Contrast that with the alkaline water that comes out of our taps with a pH of 8.5 and a lot of chemicals and salts.

Note to self: get water storage containers up to collect rainwater before next year's garden.
