My soil is naturally full of calcium carbonate. So is the water
supply. McEwen's book talks about problems with iron uptake. I've seen
that with other plants and I think I'm seeing it with one of the iris.
Now I think I can deal with that. Other then that what other problems
will I face? The Calcium carbonate will buffer any attempts to drop Ph
so I need to try harder but anything else?
