Hi Mel,
Of course the water softener "salt" is goofy.
It's a calcium chloride not sodium chloride...
also, there are many kinds of "rock"--read the
ingredients and usually the canning salt is purest.


My allergist told me to spray canning salt diluted in water up my nose
if I'm having sinus problems, so I figure it's the safest to use on
campus in the salt kiln. The work looks great and cures my sinus
problems at the same time.

we have found at the farm that
`rock` is best.
morton's `table` is good.
and those rather cheap, table salts without iodine
that cost about 20 cents a box is good.

we just stay away from water softener salt.
it just seems to be goofy. no scientific evidence,
we just don't like it....
