RE: [APD] Does Flourite ever need replacing?

["william ruyle" <inquartata at comcast_net>]

Actually it DOES need replacing if: you are foolish enough to remove
it from your wife's minibow 7 (and not save it) when you move from
Maine and substitute with sand, profile, soil, gravel down in Alabama.
I've been told to buy some more Flourite and replace the "homespun" 
substrate. She misses the bowers and thickets of watersprite, foxtail,
cyrpts, etc, she had in Maine.

No, Flourite will not run out of iron so it is not necessary to replace it.
