Wow this place is like a veritable bonsai university!

I agree with rockm, I was a little confused by Matt's ph explanation too. By the way, what is the best way to test the ph? Should I just get a generic swimming pool ph test kit or something?

I still suspect that my problem has something to do with going from tap water to RO water. I am switching back to tap water for a month to see if I notice a difference.

By the way has anyone used Dr. Earth's liquid fertilizer concentrate? It is a 3-3-3 and is organic with many macro-nutrients. Not as complete as the 7-9-5 Dyno-Gro stuff, but pretty close.

Anyway, I hope that my trees start greening up a bit. They are not really bad just look a little too yellow.

Also, does anyone know a good person in my area that is really good with Bald Cypress and both Japanese White and Black pine styling and care? I think I might need some one on one with a more experienced person especially with a couple of my potential specimen type trees.

Thanks, sorry to drift off topic.....
