               I bought this product a few yrs ago , But i wonder how good, or should i use it ? there's probably still 3 pounds!  ok it says calcium...9.5% Chelating agent is EDTA...(ethylenediametetraacetic acid). Good for all crops Foliar applied or soil application !  Is this good to use on my Pumpkins?  or should i use it up on other stuff like corn & tomatoes ?   The label is gone on how much to apply ,Anyone know?

               if it has EDTA, the plant won't be able to use the calcium.  EDTA binds too tightly with it.

               I burned the hell out of some of my leaves last year using the recommend tablespoon to a gall rate - and had the worst result on that plant for growth. The EDTA can be phytotoxic and nasty to the soil.  Greenhouse hydroponic stuff seem to tolerate it being water fed...but I will never use it again.
