Hey!

I have three ES that I would like to turn a soft/med purple (at the moment two are light pick and one is a purplish/pink.) I'm planning on using some Al. Sulfate on a regular basis next Spring (I'm guessing it's too late now) and in the meantime adding some humus and pine straw to the soil.

My question is: Does the kind of fertizer I use effect the color change I'm trying to make? I read that a balanced slow release is best, but I've also read that if you are trying to get a lower Ph you should use a fert with high potassium and low phosphorus (25/5/30). I'd hate to cancel out my effects at changing the color!

Thanks!

Lisa
