Chris, i didn't believe that i can find someone here who even knows Cyprus! Thanks for the reply. It is true that my well water is very alkaline, but also tap water pH is always about 9 (from desalination plant) For this I feed my plants with iron chelate, although i don't know how much they need, a...
