Every year I have a corn, or soybean field right behind my property... And when the farmer sprays when there is a northerly breeze, my rhubarb suffers.Malotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09908995141115792851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-35672184921913322412008-02-19T09:45:00.000-08:002008-02-19T09:45:00.000-08:00Chris,What does the herbicide and other agricultur...Chris,<BR/><BR/>What does the herbicide and other agricultural run-off do to/for your tomatoes?SkyePuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571489259897997518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-85703173035359489332008-02-19T05:21:00.000-08:002008-02-19T05:21:00.000-08:00In Indiana some... maybe most... wells are tainted...In Indiana some... maybe most... wells are tainted with herbicide and other agricultural run-off. I figure the farmers think, "If 30 gallons per acre is good, 100 must be great!"<BR/><BR/>Anyway, there is a high cancer rate around here, and the first thing patients are told is, "stop drinking well water."<BR/><BR/>I buy gallon jugs of mountain spring water from Sam's club to make my coffee and tea... I even use it to cook water absrbing foods like spaghetti, and when I'm boiling beef or chicken for soup.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a "nut" about it... At work I drink water from the tap as well as when I eat out.<BR/><BR/>Now there may be a guy in New Jersey filling up these jugs from his kitchen tap... But, we do what we can.Malotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09908995141115792851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-60875586418428084112008-02-18T22:40:00.000-08:002008-02-18T22:40:00.000-08:00Jacob,There may be tap water more horrible than yo...Jacob,<BR/><BR/>There may be tap water more horrible than yours. At my mom's house, in Cisco, Texas, the city water department issued a statement about the quality of the water. It said (in serious legalese) that they couldn't remove everything that's supposed to be removed and people shouldn't really drink it. So I drank my mom's filtered water or bottled water. But other than there, I drink from the tap.<BR/><BR/>BTW, You look so much better in blue than in pink.

Really, it isn't that bad, and it's not going to kill me. In fact, the fluoride is probably doing good for my teeth.<BR/><BR/>Bear in mind though that there is NO tap water more horrible than the tap water in drought-ravaged Australia, and on top of that, there is NO tap water more horrible in Australia than my home city. We source our water from a river that runs through NSW and Victoria, meaning that the dredge we end up with is more or less arse-flavoured soup.<BR/><BR/>But yeah. Tap water, woo.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788823062002371899noreply@blogger.com
