| What is the yellowish crusty stuff that can appear on the surface of the soil?
Is it harmful? How can I get rid of it or prevent it? |

| Hi Tiff! Yellow crusty stuff? On 5-1-1??? Charlie |

| Do you have very hard water? If you leave a saucer of tap water outside in the summer are there rings of minerals left over? A picture would help. |
|
| Pic tomorrow. I do believe we have hard water. In between houses and stating with FIL. I do know the toilet gets a pinkish ring where the water line is and i have never seen this anywhere i lived before. |

| Yeah it may very well be, but I am trying to figure this out so I guess it is what it is. I didnt know how else to decipher if they have hard water here and I thought that ring was an indication. Indont have a picture because I forgot I mixed up the soil. It is mostly on the perlite from what I can see. Looks dirty yellow, is a better color to describe. Bor kind of like cheesey popcorn.. Lol!! I am going to go with hard water because I did just give a drink/bath to the babies in the kitchen sink with the shower nozzle thing. |
