[QUOTE="Yoby, post: 30411, member: 631"] I had never heard of the muratic acid before so I started some research. Below is a link to a [FONT=Arial]Horticulturist[/FONT] at NDSU. Having planted some 25 colorado spruce, 25 junipers, 100 black hills spruce, 100 arborvitae, 25 lilac, 10 little leaf lindens, and another 100+ others in the last 2 years, I am looking for anything to get them to grow faster. I am also leery of doing anything to make me re-plant them now. He doesn't say it works, but he doesn't say it does either.
