Hosakai Asagi

Dick,
What variety of asagi do I have? Read Hosakai interview in Koi-bito and KoiUSA and still have difficult time telling difference in 2 style asagi's.

Sorry, i missed your post somehow! yosh! I can't believe i didn't see the magic words that make me light up.

You have a very classic narumi there!

It look as if it is 3 by japanese count and by fall you'll have the blue fill in to where you can see the broader, whiter fukerin, to confirm my prediction.

regards and keep us posted!

Sundan: What is your pH, general hardness and alkalinity? I've not tried an Asagi because of my water conditions. I'll be wishing you great success!

Aragorn: Over past 18 months I've gone from having source water pH typically in 7.4 to 7.6 range to consistently 8.0. (The local water utility put in new, deeper wells.) In the new pond the pH is running right at 8.0. There were a couple of occasions when it was 8.1 or 8.2, presumably due to exposure of some mortar along the top edge during minor rain showers.


Total hardness is fairly consistently 180 ppm at source, but normally 140 - 160 ppm in pond. We have had a lot of rain this summer. I expect it has caused more hardness fluctuations in the pond than normal.
