Everyone else wanted to order it. I did find out that the potassium chloride you can get a water softener store is the same chemical, so that may be a last ditch place for you. My plants were beginning to yellow around the edges, especially my water lettuce. I added about 1 tsp per 1000 gallons to my pond. I actually probably put a bit more then that, but that is a good rule of thumb. From what I have been told it's hard to overdose on potash. In just one dose my plants have started greening up. I am ready to dose again. BV. |

potash
Can any one help me with an inquery on potash. I've read alot aboutpeople
using this in their ponds. What are the benefits of using this, and for what types of plants. And also where can you buy potash. When you look at a bag of fertilizer there are 3 numbers on it like 10-10-10 The easiest way to describe it is ....the first number is for plants leaves....the second number is for the blossoms or fruits.....the third number is potash or potassium. It is for the root system, and the vigor and health of the plants. When added to a pond at 1 tablespoon per 1000 gallons it will green all up, and make them grow really fast....thus it starves out algea and the algea in the pond dies because the good plants ( especially floaters like lettuce and hyacinth) are growing so fast. I buy it at the nursery it is located with the specialty fertilizers. I hope this helps you Jerri http://www.fringeweb.com/Ponds/JerrisPond |
