My pond , from which I get my hose water, is high in iron. I had the
bright idea, of putting a section(of hose) up in a tree, and letting the
water drop down the trunks and branches, and off the vines that are on
it. Trouble is, the Hostas below are all Antioch and now all the nice
cream edges, are starting to look rusty yellow. It is awful!
