Hello, I'm new to the forum and this is my first year growing peppers.
I've been having trouble with not having enough chemical free water, tap water here is really chlorinated and there has been very little rain to collect, filtering is just to time consuming and I have a lot of plants to water, I was thinking about using lake water since I live less than a mile from one, just fill my water barrels up with it and be done, would any small aquatic bugs or anything naturally in the lake water be harmful to my pepper plants? thanks.
