have you noted what plants do better in high KH and low KH. I'm adjusting KH
also and have noticed that my WL is turning yellow. How is yours doing?


I don't have WL this year -- attracts too many aphids here. My normally
unstoppable dark green pickerel is yellowing, then getting crispy. I'll
add potash later this week to see if that helps. My pH didn't drop as
the KH went up (pH 9 / KH 143), so the problem might be the pH. Hmmmmm
.... more chemistry ;-) But the water lilies threw out 5-7 new leaves,
two new blossoms; and the corkscrew rush is really growing now.
