Kathie ,
Had a plant this year that I put in a spot that had poor drainage and it
lag all season long so I pulled it.. Some growers watch the leaves and
when they get droopy they will water. Whats tricky is the plant will droop
when it dry and get droopy when its too wet and has root problems. One way
to tell on your watering is simply dig down and see...............if its
real wet don't water for a few days.
You want to keep your Mag, and Calcium around a 1 to 4
ratio...........meaning that if your mag is 400ppm your Calcium should be
around 1600ppm....that just a ball park ratio that works..............MB
