RE: potassium deficiency?


Beth,  I can't tell you how a potassium deficiency manifests itself in
the plant.  I do know that you can get Potassium Nitrate in a water
soluble form.  It's something like 11-0-45.  It's sometimes sold as a
stump remover and you can mix it up at a rate of one tablespoon to the
gallon.  I cant't tell you how much to use but I would be cautious and
try not to over do it.
