I have been using rain water For my plants. I had a koi pond that I am taking out. I emptied and cleaned the liner. Right now it is just collecting rain water.
Is it ok to used the water for my plants? I add Foxfarm Big Bloom to the water.

What do you feed those fish? Is that food meant for ornamental fish or is it certified for human consumption? Nobody thinks of the crap they put into those fish foods like things to make the water not cloudup and chemicals to keep the food from crumbling quickly. Not to mention additives for color enhancement sometimes medicine for parasites etc. Unless your feeding those fish something you can eat I would steer clear and leave that water for ornamental plants.

Rain water is perfect. I run my whole house on it. Depending on your medium you may need to PH it.

Stagnant water BTW is not rain water.
