[compost_tea] chloramines/flourine/etc
Subject: chloramines/flourine/etc
I have heard that the use of citric acid will quickly dissipate
chlorine. (Some people used Tang for this purpose; I have bought
citric acid --food grade-- rather cheaply through Ozark food coop
which serves a goodly portion of the midsouth).
My questions:
1. Is it true that citric acid will instantly?? quickly?? dissapate
chlorine?
2. Ditto for chloramines
3. Is citric acid harmful to soil bacteria; if so at what concentration?
4. Other than deprogramming water (flowforms/stirring/various
water vortexial "enliveners", is there any way to remove flourine
or its deleterous effects. Do these actually achieve that? I accept
(my belief) it is deleterous to human health; is there a deleterous
effect on soil life, or plant life?
5. Has anyone here used some of the water "enliveners" such as
the wasserwirbler or other such technology to reprogram water?
6. Tom, you suggest the use of a whole house filter; this would
certainly give better water not only for drinking and bathing,
but for water applied to the lawn/beds/plants. Could you
share any knowledge about which you use and why you chose
that particular system over others.
