Has anyone used this? It was recommended to me to help with my extremely high level of iron in my water. Wondering if there could be any negative effects on the plants?

If it binds up iron it may bind up other nutrients. You might have to boost another nutrient like calcium up to maintain a good balance between phosphorus and calcium, for example. I dont know this from experience, just parroting what I have read.

hi sprinkler, i have very high levels of iron in my water also. if you have a water softener, it is ok to use soft water. ive tried several different ways to filter unsoftened water with not good success. check the p.h. of your water as well, higher p.h you may have to use something like p.h. down.
