Why Use Rainwater for Plants?

Besides saving money on your water bill, you'll give your plants -- indoors and out -- good quality water to drink.

Tap water is often laden with mineral salts that can be damaging to plants. Use a water softener? It will also add sodium to your water. Hard water will leave lime deposits on leaves, so it can harm plants too. 

Rainwater is clean of minerals, salts and even chlorine that is added to some public water supplies.
