hubcap is on a distinguished road
Default

i use it.
untreated.
from gutter to storage drum (sheltered from elements and insects/pets,etc)
to soil.

simply skim off the top letting the debris rest at the bottom.
if im feeling kinky ill add a few air stones.......

funny thing is....
its pH usually lands at 6.6-6.7 (slightly acidic)
straight from mutha natures tap.


the way i see it....
plants have been drinking it for millenia (albeit before human pollution)
why change what aint broke, right?

.......besides, its free.


i havent heard anyone have adverse effects from using it(rainwater)
(if so.........move. ........for your healths sake.)

good luck
