Installed a simple rain catcher, now my garden thrives without tap water

Rainwater lacks chemicals and is perfect for sensitive plants.

Julia's right about it picking up stuff, but calling it "way better" depends on your soil. If your ground is already acidic, rainwater can make it worse for some plants. My blueberries love it, but I have to lime a patch for my vegetables. It's all about checking what you're growing!

Actually rainwater does pick up some stuff from the air, like pollution. It's still way better for the garden than tap water though.

Wow, I always thought rainwater was totally pure. Hearing it picks up pollution is actually pretty wild. I'm still using it for my plants though.
