Default Greening of hyacinths continues; iron seems to be the issue; experiments continue

Hi, a gardner told me to spray the leaves of my plants w/a tbs of epsom
salts to a gal of water and that would green up my plants...do you think I
could use it on the pond plants without hurting my fish?

Yes. I add a heaping TBS of Epsom Salts per 1000 gals of water every month
to my ponds.

We have not tried epsom salt. I will wait a bit to see how the tomato
fertilizer does and then add some epson. Makes the pond a bit of a coctail!

Hopefully the fish won't be stressed out thinking they're being
pre-seasoned (as in for dinner). ;o) ~ jan

My kids keep making noises about how the koi are table sized now.

I laugh in response...threateningly!
