Recycling Water

    3 responses

VF starts with ...
After complaining about too much rain a couple of years back, now having too little. So now in our household we're in water conservation mode, and the kids are having baths so I can use the water on some fruit trees (small amount of bubble bath). Thought I'd share results.

Bad: Green Sapote, dead. Papaya, a little sickly initially with droopiness, recovering now but some burnt leaves. Babaco very sick, lost all leaves, finally recovering, new growth OK. Avo's and Jaboticaba, burnt leaf edges.

Good: Citrus. Apples. Peaches. Mangoes. Sapodilla. Bananas. Tamarillo. White Sapote. Canistel. Wampi. Passion fruit. Persimmon. Jackfruit (only tried once though). Guava. Mulberries.

Have yet to try on Feijoa, Grumichuma, Loquat, Figs, Pomegranate. Any thoughts or experience? Also would like to try on Davidson Plums (experiment on lillypilly as another rainforest plant was okay, but I'm hesitant.) Thanks.

Glad you're getting a good soak, replenish the groundwater etc as you had a late start to the wet. With your climate, your trees must be going crazy. Hopefully you'll have bumper crops in all fruits.
