GreenCurry Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 As I live in a 1st floor flat and have no garden getting rain water, enought to water my plants is very hard without looking like a mental patient using a bucket to scoppp out water from a puddle. With all this snow around at the moment, can I collect it , melt it and use it to water my plants in the same way as rain water ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlatokrt Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 You can use it, but i would reccomend you to filter it (e.g. through some filter-paper of at least a fine cloth). Snow contains sometimes quite a lot of solid contamination, it depends on where you live - in cities it is naturally more contamination then in mountains. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
