Home depot is cool but sometimes their employees are whack. Good primer on watering, Al.

In so-cal we have very hard water- high soluable salt content. I suspect it is that way in many large cities ,in the desert soutwest, etc. Any way we almost never water the the foilage only an occasional wash off.

The winter rain if it ever comes helps to wash out salts. We go 6 to 8 months here without rain some years. So dry
