Re: CULT: trace elements


Thought I'd share the make up of the micronutrient mix that I use (also used
by Bill Maryott).

Fe (Iron)         12.0 %
Mn (Manganese)     2.5 %
Zn (Zinc)          1.0 %
Cu (Copper)        0.5 %
B (Boron)          0.1 %
Mo (Molybdenum)    0.05 %
S (Sulfur)        15.0 %

It is used very sparingly, and as others have noted availability of many
nutrients is sensitive to the soil Ph.
