I like that cheerful red color on your Ebb Tide. How's the pH level on that one: neutral, alkaline, or acidic. Was wood-ash used? This past fall my Munstead Wood was too dark-red with horse manure, I want the color to be lighter. If I had known how to "lighten up" my Mirandy's color, I would not had killed that .. my Mirandy was dark-red like dried blood, yuck !!
