Yo Cris, Jim, Wim, and George,
                               Yes thats right Dave Stelts did not use
IRONITE but the Checkons did and reports say that it should be safe to use
at the recomended dose.
As I said Chris I used something similar when I grew my 743 in 1997. This
was Sulphate of Iron and trace elements bought seperatley after a soil
test.If I get the IRONITE this year I will try it on some of my plants and
iron sulphate on others. Snow in Liverpool today but it wont stay long and
neither will yours George, Spring is here.
 Happy growing in 2001
