Even though I have about one-hundred fifty gallons of rain water stored up because this is an El Nino year and I'm afraid we will receive scant rain this spring and summer I've been expending a lot of energy driving down to the creek and dipping out five gallon buckets of creek water for my carnivorous plants.
The Blue five gallon bucket is carried up the slope and put in the back of my Mule. The plants really seem to like this very acidic water.
I do wonder about the plethora of organisms that are in the water and whether their decomposing bodies might adversely affect my plants.
Rose Creek, by the way, is a tributary of the beautiful Itchetucknee River. It goes under ground near my home and joins the Itchetucknee cachement basin. Rose Creek is rain feed and dries up during dry periods.
What the enthusiast won't do for their plants.
