I’ve gone to a lot of effort to try to improve the quality of the soils, from fungal spores to adding compost and worms, even home brewing some lactobacteria to aid legumes in nitrogen fixation.
I’d hate to undo all that effort by killing all the microbial life with chlorine. For the larger spaces in my yard I have no choice but to use the sprinkler or a sprayer and hope the misting effect will let chlorine evaporate, but what about using the hose directly on large grow bags? I’ve been using a buckets that I’ve let sit out for the chlorine to evaporate, but I have so many grow bags now that I don’t have enough buckets to get to everything in the same watering session. I’m in California so counting on the rain is not an option.
