8. Hey! hi Gary, I noticed another subscriber asked about the quality of your moisture maintenance for your garden, & you said you only use the "city" water, ... but I have not seen anything about how, you apply it to your gardening, ... & am curious as to whether or not you are using anything to filter out stuff like chlorine/fluoride or any other number of chemicals, or the ph balancing act that we come into contact with in our daily lives, ... I am curious as to how much, (quantity/quality), of treated water is good for the plants, or for our health, ... being as it is absorbed through the roots of what we intend to eat/sell, or giveaway, ... living in the urban midwest, this seems to be an actual issue, ... as we are all subject to the water quality of our local providers of this essential necessity, ... should we be checking for any certain items, that could be absorbed by the root structures, & passed on to us through our "crops"?
9. Thanks Gary, your videos are very inspiring.
   Much appreciated!

17. How often do you fertilize with the other products you use besides the 1x/week fish emulsion. Also, what kind of soil do you recommend buying for these fall crops? I don't have the room in my yard to compost & local nurseries around here don't offer compost either. It's a struggle!
18. would it be still in time to start some lettuce seeds ? About the same climate as you have
