Ammonium and algae

["James Purchase" <jppurchase at rogers_com>]

Interesting tidbit....and one more "point" for Tom Barr....

From a website on the conditions in Boston Harbour:

http://www.mwra.state.ma.us/harbor/html/20010927bh.htm

"...Ammonium is the main form of nitrogen in secondary treated wastewater,
and is the form of nitrogen that most stimulates excessive growth of algae."

Tom has been cautioning us against using fertilizer sources which contain
NH4.

Gee, I hope that someone likes to eat crow after camel.....
