I had a check run on my well and the total hardness came out to 170 PPM.. Is this really high? No chlorine or iron in the water, no nitrates/nitrites - the hardness consists of calcium, magnesium and manganese. Can my plants absorb those micro nutrients from this source or are they insoluable/unusable to the plant in this form?
