hi, i know there is a lot of chlorine in the tap water. i heard that if i leave some water in buckets under the sun for a day or two it helps to eliminate all the harmful chemicals. And the water is much better/pure to use in ones organic garden.
short of spending money to buy filtered bottle water for my garden what to do? how to avoid having insects like mosquitoes attracted is there some natural repellent?
thanx
forgot to mention i'm vegan so animal products don't work for me....repelling insects from the garden,I also need to know but i was wondering specifically to the sitting water, how to keep mosquitoes away.

As long as you don't let it stand for more than a couple of weeks you should be just fine. There are products you can get that are used in small ponds to kill the mosquito larva. They are also used by people who collect and store rain water for their gardens. I don't know what it is called, but it comes in table form and can be purchased a just about any garden center. As for purifying the water, letting it set for 24 hours is enough to lose the chlorine, but outside plants rarely suffer from chlorine like indoor plants because the soil filters out most of it.
Good Luck
