watering lawn with sump water---save fertilizer?

May 04, 2008 1 Replies

My sump pumps discharge onto the lawn outside the house. I notice the grass there is very lush and green.



I have a feeling that the lush growth is due not just to the grass getting more water.



I think maybe it is due to the mineral content of the sump water.



I think maybe because the sump water has percolated through the soil, it has picked up minerals that are good for the grass, whereas rain water has no dissolved minerals.
