Gutter rainwater and diseases

Guavatone · July 25, 2019

I know theses diseases are par for the course with the hot and humid weather. But I am really suspect of my rain collection. It just seems the disease started after heavy use of my rain water via foliar use and watering.

The barrel was beached and cleaned in the spring and on and off I added BT.

My gutters that collect the rain are pretty unkept and the roof has some moss like growth. I have a good bird population, which mean poopalation.

For now the only way I can tell is using city water, but I have 3 filters, so it doesn’t smell like a swimming pool so much as when unfiltered.

I really appreciate this community. Thanks in advance all good tomatovillians
