Do You Still Need A Final Flush When Organic?

[Hollatchaboy]

My local tap is high in sodium, unfortunately, unless I go back to filtering, I'll need to flush to get sodium levels to expectable parameters, whatever that is. The ideal is like bottle feeding, when your water evaporates (from the soil) it leaves behind salt deposits that can build up rabidly. When salt levels in the root zone are high, plants can't get enough water from the soil, even if there's plenty of water in the soil.

Oh yea. Sorry, I'm thinking from an ro perspective. I reckon you have no choice.

How do you know your tap is high in sodium? How high is it, whats the number?

In the video I posted above he's telling Chris that 48 PPM is a lot... mines reaches to 130 PPM (from my local water report)

Where did that number come from, city water report?

Yes

You need RO to remove sodium.

Why am I so surprised.
