Maybe it’s common knowledge but I didn’t know, almost all garden hoses have lead in them. Unless the house is specifically labeled drinking safe or lead free it has lead. The amount that gets into your plants isn’t huge but any is bad. Particularly if you use raised beds it builds up over time. Take care of your green babies.
