Default Greening of hyacinths continues; iron seems to be the issue; experiments continue

It is in a pelletized and dissolves easily. The water in our pond showed no
change. It is, however, tea colored.

We too use Ironite. Easy and, apparently, effective.

Overall, it seems the iron was the issue.

Jim,

Where'd you get the iron? And what form is it in?

BV.



Is Ironite messy?, does it turn your water brown and clog up the
filtration? My box of iron (not ironite) was doing that and I have
been pleasantly surprised when I used some organic iron chelate for
plants and my pond did not cloud up at all, the only negative is it is
expensive for just a little bit.
