Hello. My tap water is run through a water softener first. I thought I read somewhere that I shouldn't use this water because of all of the salt that the softener leaves in it? I used bottled water for a while which turned out to be a pain in the rear now that they are flowering. Then I used an outside hose because the water to the outside doesn't get softened. Winter isn't far away and I'm not really excited about running my fat ass outside and using the hose. Especially since with my luck the faucet would freeze and break. Can I use my inside tap water or is that a bad idea? Thanks in advance for your advice.
