Red Rockies are white

Always use Red Rockies to counter copper and cobalt deficiencies in my soil.

So got a shock when I opened up the packet to find they're white. Apparently, they can't use the colouring any more because it's illegal.

So now you know. Your Red Rockies really are meant to be white!

I recently had the same surprise. Compounded by the fact that the said Rockies had dissolved to a salty mush within two days!

Give it a rest, plenty of political threads already running :singing:.

@Dry Rot do you get on ok with the Rockies? I can't imagine they have enough trace elements in them?

tbf it was a joke but I've not got my head round these new emojis to signify as such.
I like rockies they seem to help with orf (unless its a placebo thing and it would clear anyway...) it's the chelated ones you want for the zinc.

My experience of Rockies is that, with exception of the purple packed Zinc ones, they all dissolve to slop almost as quickly as every other brand. Fortunately I only need to use the Zinc ones and they stay rock-hard down to the final crumbs. :)
