buffers, salt, and plants
I've been adding a lot of baking soda as a buffer. I've been checking
the salt level in my pond, and it doesn't show any change. I don't want to kill my plants. Does anybody know whether most salt test kits test for sodium, chloride, or both? Is it the sodium in salt that kills plants? Any reason I can't use powdered magnesium/calcium carbonate to increase alkalinity as long as my general hardness is also low? |
