As I remember it, the answer was 1 tbsp per 1000 gal per week in high
growing season. Probably varies a lot depending on how many plants are
grabbing the potash for growth.

Ok. Will somebody tell me what is up with the controversy over
Ironite? In this ng and from some of our local ponders, Ironite used
in
moderation is said to do wonders for WH. Now I am seeing all kinds of
very negative and cautionary site discussing the horrors of Ironite.
And, I see there is a "new and improved" formula available.

Thanks for your comments

Us organic gardeners would never use that stuff, but here is a good
reprint of an article from The Dallas Morning News on the local
Organic Guru's website:

info on that site by doing a search.

High potash value in fertilizer will work just as well. I use sulfate of
potash (0-0-50). I forget the quantity offhand, but someone on the list
will
remind me.
