Example

The well water is salty too, the soil is even whiter

  1. The well water is salty too, the soil is even whiter
  2. The well water tastes bitter. After irrigation the soil is whiter. I bought gypsum and haven’t spread it.
  3. Salty well water is a bill. You can irrigate, you cannot irrigate the same way every time. Alternate with fresher water if you have it; leach only if it can leave. Gypsum is for sodium that makes the soil slick and hard — not for every white film. Separate salt from alkali first.
