RE: [APD] Removes "heavy metals"?
Hhhhmmmm... and just when I thought it wasn't an issue in terms of
removing/neutralizing micro and macro nutrients for plants! :-)
Ok, once the Mg and Ca is chelated, is it still available for plants? I
would assume it functions just like chelated Fe and that plants still have
access to it?
