Water for BLSC and BLKH
I live in an area where tap water is treated with chloramine to prevent the growth of pathogens. Unlike regular chlorine, the chloramine will not evaproate off if left out in an open container. The chloramine has a clear negative effect in baking, as it kills the yeast in bread and pastry dough and prevents a proper rise in the oven. I am curious as to how this would translate to BLKH. I wouldn't think it would have much effect in BLSC, but would it be worth my time to mix up BLKH with bottled or distilled water instead of tap water? Clearly my sprinklers use water with chloramine, I'm just thinking about the long term storage of the concentrated BLKH in the presence of chloramaine. Thoughts?

The purpose of adding soap to the soil is to break the surface tension of the water allowing it to penetrate more deeply into the soil. I'm not a chemist, but I don't see why chloramine would make any difference as to the effectiveness of that process.
