My first grow, and I'm using soil. I want to use rainwater, but I've just cleaned out my guttering, and flushed away most of the debris in there. Trouble is, itll never be 100% clean. For best results, I imagine it would be best to have it sterilised in some way before it reaches the plants - if this is the case, does anyone have any ideas of how to go about this?
On the other hand, these bacterias tend to sort themselves out in the real world, so am I being too fussy?
Obviously, I have a net filter to exclude the larger particles and insects etc..but my concern is the moss and other growth that proliferates in my guttering.
Ok, I can clean it out periodically, but I'm never going to get rid of all of it.
I had a look to see if this has been discussed elsewhere, but couldn't find it.
I want to use rainwater because the tap water here varies hugely with the rainfall. It's brown right now, and on the acid side.
