I didn't add any fertilizer to the pond for the hyacinth. It was my
first year last year with these plants. Should I give them any
treatment other than throwing them in.

Thanks in advance !

Before throwing any fertilizer in, check your pH. If the pH is too high or
low, you can throw all the fert. you want in, and the plant will still fail
to thrive. ~ jan

Do you know "off hand" what the PH level should be ?
What is the most economical way of testing ?
What can I do to raise or lower it ?

Thanks !
