nitrogen level in filter runoff
I want to use my filter water (diluted) on my hydrangeas. I was told
on garden web to only do it if the nutrient balance was good. Is this the wrong way to go? Is the nitrogen too high? TIA, Ann |

I think the balance is good enough, at least for most plants. A long time ago, I had aquariums in the house, raising guppies, and was way over crowded, requiring 30 to 50% water changes about 3 times a week. I tossed the waste out the front door onto the azaleas. I have never had such beautiful azaleas. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "ann in houston" wrote in message om...

TIA, Ann Thanks for the answer. I didn't think anyone had an opinion for a bit there. I think the blue variety is as acid-loving as azaleas are. I will dilute it quite a bit. I should get some beautiful blue from it. I'll post some pics once the blooms fill in. Would that be offtopic? Thanks again, Ann |
