I caught my small grandchildren using salt water from my swimming pool to water my container citrus , tomato and container fig. They were trying to help. I made them stop and then I watered everything because I wasn't sure what they had watered. The others had been playing with the water hose so I couldn't tell exactly what got the salty water treatment. The salt water concentration is approximately 3 grams / liter. Probably the worse 4 gallon container got about 2 or 3 liters. I don't think that is too strong. The salt water is used for the salt water chlorine generator. They were trying to help and were frustrated because the others had the hose ! They are very small.

We were watching closely but don't know how long they had a bucket brigade going. The bigger child was helping the smaller child. Nobody gets spanked by granddaddy at my house. I spanked their parents enough for everybody.

I flushed everything with water again today. Tom

Just a simple flush with clear water should take care of everything. - Millet
