Rehashing an old subject: Chlorine Neutralizer, that can be soaked into the ground by plants ahead of time?

I KNOW that for now, the answer to plant protection from chlorine or the salts left behind is to water, water, water and then just water some more.

However biggrin

I wish there was a pre-soak for the soil directly below the roof edge, that would be both beneficial to the plants-like a 666 fertilizer, that's generally safe for all plants. And something that would help neutralize SH and Salt?

I doubt anything but water is going to help the salt, but how about the SH runoff?

In the previous posts/thread about this, [the last post is below] it ended generally, indecisively?

I put up a poll too, so if you currently do ANYTHING but water, please let us know what you do! confuse

What do you think Chris T and Jeff and any others who are on the chemist borderline? biggrin

RE: Hmmmm, just thinking? Is there a Chlorine Neutralizer, that can be soaked into the ground by plants ahead of time?
Closed

was reading about chlorine neutralizers while back took an hour to find it again thiosulfate is in most pool neutralizers for fish tanks a mix of 10% to 90% water does not kill fish people put drops in glass of tap water to kill cancer compounds sodiun thiosulfate and fulvic acid together make a great plant fertilizer grows and blooms quicker think its a negative ion people take fulvic acid as an anti aging and other medical reasons to do with electrolites if you wash hands with thiosulfate and soap will get rid of smell of chlorine not sure pricing but would be nice to have on truck if you have a spill to neutralize think i got that write

What is the main ingredient for Salt Away? We used that to flush our jet skis out after ocean riding.

 Here you go Chuck, check it out. However, adding this to soil as a pre emptive strike may do more harm then good ?

 Chris- that's basically gypsum and epsom salt, the gypsum has been widely discussed and is recommended to use if you do accidently get some love on a plant. I know Scott with Confident has used it and has literally revived bushes with the gypsum.

 I do think that Calcium Chloridde is WELL worth researching and looking into. When you realize how the high saline levels effect the plants which is often the damaging biproduct of the SH and how it occurs at the cellular level inside the plants then it allows for a better understanding of the way to eliminate the salts. You'd still have to contend with the burn associated with the chlorine while active and to address that its a completely different animal.

Problem with calcium chloride is that in excess it can damage or kill the plants, funny thing though is that Gypsum is the recommended "antidote" for overuse of calcium chloride!

Hmmmm, looks like there is not a simple answer?
I basically never have plant problems at all.
However, I do worry about some jobs.
That's why I thought for those that worry me, I could pre-treat the soil / plants. Or after-treat ?
For now, it looks like a few hundred gallons of water will have to continue to be the answer, but I may try some Gypsum?
Thanks
Chuck
