So, I've purchased a TDS meter and our local tap water tds is 32 ppm (which should be good for using on CP's). After lots of digging, it seems we use chloramine in the Victoria water vs chlorine. Chlorine can be just vented off by leaving the water standing, but Chloramine can not. From reading, the chloramine turns the soil a bit acidic. I know this is benefitial (within reason) for some CP's.
My question is, do others that have chloramine in their water have issues watering their CP's?
I've been using distilled for now, but would like something that I don't need to run out and purchase. I picked up a rain barrel, and then realized the run off from the roof tiles and debris in the gutters would likely cause just as many problems. I may end up jury rigging something to collect the water into the barrel (right now my 1ft by 1ft barrel is not collecting much water!). lol.
