Water Question

a-mazing
13 years ago

I have a square foot garden that we water when necessary from our shallow water well. I was wondering if there's in danger of plant damage from the minerals in shallow well water? I know they sometimes have high levels of sulfur. Also we are in coastal SC probably about 5 miles from the coast and I'm not sure how that would affect the water. Could it possibly have high levels of salt?

Haven't noticed any problems but was curious as to what problems I might have over time.

Thanks!
