nitrogen level in filter runoff
 

I want to use my filter water (diluted) on my hydrangeas. I was told
on garden web to only do it if the nutrient balance was good. Is this
the wrong way to go? Is the nitrogen too high?
TIA,
Ann

I think the balance is good enough, at least for most plants. A long time
ago, I had aquariums in the house, raising guppies, and was way over
crowded, requiring 30 to 50% water changes about 3 times a week. I tossed
the waste out the front door onto the azaleas. I have never had such
beautiful azaleas.

Thanks for the answer. I didn't think anyone had an opinion for a bit
there. I think the blue variety is as acid-loving as azaleas are. I
will dilute it quite a bit. I should get some beautiful blue from it.
I'll post some pics once the blooms fill in. Would that be offtopic?
Thanks again,
Ann
