It comes in colors ranging from white to reddish brown, per my
understanding. The only stuff I could find in my neck of the woods (north
of San Diego) was called Sul Po Mag 0-0-20, and the small pellets are
reddish brown. The magnesium and sulfur make 31% of the mixture and are
supposed to aid in greening things up. So far no problems.

One question for regular users: Do you try to crush it up to dissolve
faster, or just toss it in as pellets/rocks?

And besides that..... the Muriate of Potash I bought at Agway (5 lb. box) is
not "white rocks", but more like a reddish brown. Are you sure we're
talking about the same stuff?

Why do water softener companies have it....and why would you need that
much. I
bought less than 5 pounds last year for less than $5 and I have over
15,000
gallons....I still had some left this year Jerri
