What makes you think there may be a problem with the water?
Hello everyone. Is there is a nearby place where I can take a sample of my sprinkler well water to be tested? I would like to know if I'm watering my trees with poor quality water or not. My location is pembroke pines, fl 33024.
Got this off of the EPA websitehttp://www.epa.gov/safewater/faq/pdfs/fs_homewatertesting.pdf"You can fi nd one in your area by calling the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 or visiting www.epa.gov/safewater/labs. "

Out of state people use them too. While your at it, throw a bag of soil in the box and have it tested too. It's cheap. FWIW, my well water is as hard as a rock with a TDS of 839 ppm, mostly bicarbs of Ca and Mg.Hi mark, when this lab returns a soil analysis report, do they reccomend a course of corrective action or amounts of amendments to add? Thanks, Davehttp://soiltesting.tamu.edu/

I like Mark's suggestion. I think I'll be using it soon. Alexi and I are in the same area so it would be interesting to see how our sprinkler water compares.
Looks like paradise to me!
I got ride of my Papayas due to papaya fruit flies. I replanted the avocados and carembola on higher ground. Got a different variety of Sapodilla.
