I do have a rain barrel, but that's only good if it rains. We haven't had much lately.

I'm south of 466 so our irrigation water is reclaimed and not potable like it is north of 466. It sinks like heck, and I hate working on my sprinklers.

I'm wondering if that water would contaminate my veggies with the chemical runoff that comes off our lawns and golf courses?
