Care Charlie Dispose of the Ironite in an ecological manner (the jerk next door is always a good choice). Excuse me, I seem to be having a schizophrenic moment. As I was saying, in an ecologically responsible manner, and use sulfur powder or sphagnum moss to lower your soil's pH. The world will thank you.

Should it be? Our soil is so alkaline it's recommended Ironite be used. use powdered lime to counteract alkalinity. Ironite is nasty stuff. chemicals like Sevin should be used sparingly, if at all, as well. stick around & ask questions. we can help you move to a more organic (& possibly less expensive) form of gardening. lee -- Last night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. |
