I use well water but it is so hard that I have treat it. If not, overhead watering will turn the trees white from all the minerals. I have a 55 gal barrel with 55 oz of sulfuric acid and a 25 lb bag of fertilizer mix in it and use an injector at 100:1 to mix with the well water. This mix makes my water 5.6-5.9 ph (out of the ground it is 7) and this takes care of my hard water problem and fertilizing is automatic. It's a bummer to have to do so much with the water, this is the first place I have lived that I had to do anything with the water. Have to run a water softener in the house also. If not the water ruins everything in time.
