All: I checked with my Extension agent and here are his thoughts. Elaine Denver Subject: RE: [Market-farming] Filtered Water for Soil Microbes Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 15:10:47 -0600 From: Carl.Wilson AT denvergov.org To: elainegranata AT msn.com Elaine, Without looking for scientific studies if they exist, I would think that the buffering capacities of soil will mitigate any effects of chlorinated water on the large number of microorganisms that live in soil volumes. We garden successfully all over the nation and I suspect there are many other limiting factors that cause problems with plant growth before treated municipal water is a concern. - Carl

Carl: Is is this likely true? What are the implications for us urban farmers?
