You mention ericaceous growing medium, but would you also say to use
rain water? Or do you find the sequestered iron does the trick?

Right about overcropping: in ignorance, I let mine produce over fifty

Strictly speaking they don't need ericaceous compost they just prefer it and
if you use it you can then use hard tap water to water with. However, I do
use rain water if I have enough. (I have some plants that demand it)
