Maple Manganese DIY vs Pro Injection Cost Analysis

DIY manganese treatment: ~$40 (pH kit $14 + manganese $10-15 + sulfur $10) vs $100 pro injection. DIY fixes cause (pH); implants only treat symptoms.

DIY Protocol

Pro injection must include pH correction or manganese re-locked. DIY addresses root cause permanently. Your time = main cost difference.
