    My father in law said I should spend a fortune on something I think was called manzate of potash, I sprinkled it around the fruit trees, and everything it touched got burned..please advise..

    Wow all you members and not one response, I am terrified to use the stuff again without knowing what I did wrong. Dave?

    Coco, potash is one of the three major macronutrients that plants need and that you will find in common fertilizers. Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potash (potassium) are the NPK that you see on containers of fertilizer. I would never try using just one or any for that matter without doing a soil test to determine if your soil actually needs it.
