Yellow hyacinth update
I still have not brought the water test kit home, but still have some data
about our yellow hyacinths. The iron has changed the yellowing of the wh in the 4x8 berm vf. They are clearly moving from yellow to dark green. Those hyacinth have long roots. The wh in the pond (short roots...koi) are mixed as to green. Some have become more green, others very little. I suspect the roots have made the difference. The ones in the tub with fertilizer (tomato...low nitrogen) have not appreciably darkened. I will continue to watch them. Provisional conclusion: low iron yellowed them and low roots make it hard to grab nutrients.

Yellow hyacinth update
Hi Mike,
We used a bag from Home Depot that we got for adding iron to the blueberries that we have in our yard. Tell them you have to add iron and they will point you to it. Doesn't take much compared to the smallest bag size.
