-----Original Message-----So we better get excited about rain water, because some of the nutrients in rain are chelated too. Shall we insist that everyone has to test their plants before you can water with rain water?

Chelated minerals are less likely to leach, less likely to be harmful to plants than not-chelated nutrients.
I do not read the regulatory statement as REQUIRING testing. No regulator will prevent you from applying chelated minerals because it would be a good idea to test tissue first. We would have to insist that anyone applying any nutrient should have to test to make sure they are needed.
Actually, we ought to do that, but most of us look at the information the plant gives us in the form of color, growth rate, etc. then we decide if the plant needs additional nutrient.
Testing? Great idea. Practical?
