City water won’t do for the seedlings, it kills ‘em deader than a hammer.

Hi Johnny. Is this true? Is this one of your secrets for success with starting seeds? Something I have never considered.

Not only do I water with city water (taken from the Ohio River) but with used bathwater. Seeds are happy.

I use only rain water and always water from the bottom. I never sprinkle, spray, or mist from the top.

Those 2 things upped my success from about 2% to 85%.
