The OPs problem can either be a lack of iron in the soil or a soil pH that renders the iron unavailable. (and they are not mutually exclusive) I've heard that too. I'll test my pH! If you have the first instance, iron can be added in pretty much any form. So I can just bury some rusty nails in the soil? A web search I did suggested that the iron needs to be in a form which is digestible by the plant. I would use a sulfate, particularly if the soil tends toward the high end of the pH scale. Nails would only provide a biologically available form if the pH is neutral to acid. If you are going organic, manures, rice hulls, and most compost tend to be acidic. Blood meal would then provide a useful souce of iron. [...] Thanks for your ideas. To be honest with you I can probably manage without "romanji" or English speaking assistants. I've been searching high and low for any kind of garden product with any form of iron in it in places including "Joyful Honda", D2 and Homac, but not in Tokyu Hands. I was not intending to impune your Japanese fluency. A lot of relatively compentent non-native speakers have little or no reading skills in my experience. I have not looked at Japanese packaging for gardening supplies, so I have no idea whether there are adopted kanji for specific chemicals and compounds or whether they are rendered in kana. My guess would be that "organic gardening" products, being native materials, would have kanji names, but chemical compounds would be rendered in a combination of kana and IEC symbols. |
