i have a small pond with a little waterfall in my backyard has alot of Koi in it and alot of rotting leaves and plant matter at the bottom if it the water is kinda murky brown. i was just wondering if watering with this water would be better then tap and would it have any nutrients in it that would benefit my plants?

Sounds like that water is going to be filled with good stuff and won't need to sit while the chlorine evaporates off, like tap water. Not being sure of the PH of koi poop i'de take a sample first just to make sure its all good and not going to throw off your growing medium.

im guna mix that pond water with unsupherd molasses when flowering time comes around to give it some added P and other minerals and to help out the microlife.
