I have some questions and concerns.
1. Since Sprinkler water is Non-Potable/Recycled water is it safe for vegetables & herbs?
2. If Sprinkler water is harmful, what alternatives do we have?
3. How can I find out what grows in Central Florida and when it should be planted?
This is a landscaping question.
1. My Palm trees are looking wimpy and yellow. What should I be feeding them?
Thanx,

Re: the recycled water.
My opinion, I would ask the water company if it is safe for using on vegetables. I expect that it is not always the same. Insecticides? Fertilizer run off? Unless your system is different than mine. the recycled water is hooked to your sprinkler system. Your hoses
hooked to the valves on the sides of your home supply the same water that you drink.
Re: Palms
Most of our palms are on the lawn so they get lawn fertilizer, wrong for palms. You can
apply palm fertilizer to your lawn and both will be happy. The other way around, your palm will not be happy.
