| Anyone used this product, liquid K 0-0-25? I am fertilizing my pumpkin patch with 5-15-5 and I am planning to supplement with the liquid K once I have fruit set so just wondering if 1 oz per gallon of water and applying a 1/2 gallon per hill once a week would be a good plan? Thanks! |

| What is the brand name? Google pulls up about 25 different what you are calling "liquid K 0-0-25" products. And you'd likely get more info on pumpkin specific products from over on the Pumpkins forum here. When I search that forum for liquid K discussions it pulls up several of them. Dave |

| The product I am considering is from extremepumpkinstore.com and it is made from potassium carbonate and the brand is Growth Products. |

| Will liquid iron do the job? |

| Potassium carbonate will raise the pH of your soil, much like wood ash. If your soil is already basic, this is a bad idea. If your soil is less than pH 6.5, it shouldn't hurt but it would be safer to apply a K fertilizer like potassium sulfate instead. |

| Thanks for that info Slimy_Okra because our PH is about 8! |
