I have searched high and low and can not find Potash anywhere. Someone
help...

BV.

Potash in 5 lb bags was available at Lowe's and Home Depot here a few
years ago, but both stores seemed to have stopped carrying the 5 lb
bags. If there is a real farm supply store near you, I'd try there.
Feed and Seed stores are a good bet. Best of luck!

Truth about potash is it only works as food for plants when there is
phosphates and nitrates for the plants to use already available in the
water. If your plants have used all three up, they could use a
little fertilizer.
I can hear the screams already.

Here in Marshville, NC, I took a 1 liter jug to a Southern States Coop and
they let me fill it up with Potash (0,0,60) for $0. They sell it bulk and
the guy didn't even go back with me to the stall where they keep it. The
stuff is cheap. I filled my jug, waved goodbye and left. Nice people, I'll
go back to them for other things as I need them.

Try one of your local nurseries. They can certainly carry it/ stock it, in 5
pound boxes, at the very least.
Happy ponding,
Greg
PS There is never a dearth of nitrates/phosphates in most ponds

I've never measured it, but it seemed the most logical reason why
water hyacinths grew well for a time and turned yellow and died back
into knotty little plants. This year I have yellow parrot feather,
but I have a lot of parrot feather. Instead of adding fertilizer
this year I'm taking out some of the plants.
