It is raining tonight in the mountains of north central New Mexico USA.
With so much talk of water on the list lately, I thought I'd measure
mine. Coming off the roof of the greenhouse and running down the dirty
gutters the water has
7 parts per million total dissolved solids
5.7 ph
14 millimhos electrical conductivity
Makes me want to measure some distilled water for comparison.
I hear a lot of talk about rainwater containing a lot of "stuff" in it.
Every time I have measured it at my house, it doesn't appear to have
much in it.
