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

When you look at a bag of fertilizer there are 3 numbers on it like 10-10-10
The easiest way to describe it is ....the first number is for plants
leaves....the second number is for the blossoms or fruits.....the third number
is potash or potassium. It is for the root system, and the vigor and health
of the plants. When added to a pond at 1 tablespoon per 1000 gallons it will
green all up, and make them grow really fast....thus it starves out algea and
the algea in the pond dies because the good plants ( especially floaters like
lettuce and hyacinth) are growing so fast. I buy it at the nursery it is
located with the specialty fertilizers. I hope this helps you Jerri
