Roger,
Thanks for the tip about the Morton's Salt Substitute. Would this
be similar to a garden product called "Muriate of Potash" which
contains something like 52% potash and 48% Chloride(ine?)? I got
some of this for $4/2 lbs at the garden store, but I hesitated about
the chloride in it. I figured I could make a batch with a
dechlorinator,
but then I got a 4oz bottle of the Seaweed Plant Food for free, so I
figured what the heck.
Thanks for your help.
Cindy
