Can any one help me with an inquery on potash. I've read alot about

people
using this in their ponds. What are the benefits of using this, and for
what types of plants. And also where can you buy potash. Thanks. Andy


Andy it took me eons to find Potash. Only one garden store in my area had
some. Everyone else wanted to order it. I did find out that the potassium
chloride you can get a water softener store is the same chemical, so that
may be a last ditch place for you.

My plants were beginning to yellow around the edges, especially my water
lettuce. I added about 1 tsp per 1000 gallons to my pond. I actually
probably put a bit more then that, but that is a good rule of thumb. From
what I have been told it's hard to overdose on potash.

In just one dose my plants have started greening up. I am ready to dose
again.
