Pool water
Hello,
I have a very small greenhouse just some basil parsley and lettuce growing. My daughter poured about a gallon maybe a little less of pool water in there thinking she was helping me water the plants. So should I rip everything out and start all over again? Thank you

No. Don't worry. I suspect a small amount of pool water will evaporate and do little damage. It all depends on how much chlorine or salt was used in the pool. The plants may surprise you and survive or if they do die you can always replace them at that time. At least your daughter meant well. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
