    Over the past 2 years I've been using the water from my freshwater aquarium to water my indoor and outdoor plants when I do a water change and clean out the filters.
    It's cheaper than plant food, have had good success with Orchards and my other indoor plants also used it on my hanging baskets and my Lotus Berthelotii (Parrot's Bill)

      I don't have sufficient Goldfish water for my apple orchards.
