Zinc for My Garden
Some 20-25 years ago, I bought a 5 lb bag of zinc sulfate. It was
packed by Bandini, which is no longer in business. I use only a little, on my four dwarf citrus and on my gardenia. Now that the bag is almost empty, none of the nurseries around me carry it. Does anyone know of a retail source of zinc sulfate in relatively small packages? No, I don't want it mixed with iron or boron. And I'm looking for it in the form of dry powder or granules. It seems that, in recent years, it's becoming harder and harder to find single-nutrient fertilizers. All I see are combinations. However, even the combinations are incomplete. For example, most commercial citrus fertilizers contain no zinc although citrus is well-know to require extra zinc. One commercial citrus food contains 0.02% zinc; 0.50% or even 1.00% would be better. -- David E.
