Ironite Vinegar and MG.
All of my plants looked yellow and blue veined with purple stems.
I new I had put 16 16 16 in the raised beds and went to work hoping for the best. Nope I got home and some of the plants were growing but some right next to them did little if anything. So this time home I decided to cure or kill everything. Because I had already put on what I thought plenty of fertilizer I knew it had to be one or two of 2 things. Low in iron or soil too alkaline. I tested the soil and it was around 7.5 or 8 So I bought a big bag of Ironite 1-0-1 and spread it everywhere. I sprayed the beds down with a solution of vinegar. Then to top it off I sprayed the garden down with MG fertilizer for blooming plants. 3 days later the garden is exploding with growth and blooms, even the stunted plants are coming out of it. Call it what you will but I needed results and fast I dont have time to wait, summer is on the way. I'm glad something worked. Worth |
