Lemon tree with yellow leaves

After the wet month we had here in Sydney, my little potted Lemon started to get yellow leaves - but reading http://digitalseed.com/common/common.mv?showthread+1086463766+30 I'm guessing it had just had all the nutrients leached out of the pot from the rain.

Sven, your lemon could just need a little organic nitrogen. If it is nitrogen deficient, the veins of the leaves will turn yellow. If the entire leaf is yellow or it has brown edges, then it may be root bound I would suggest gently removing it from the pot and taking a look at the roots. If they are solidly packed, loosen them a bit and re-pot the plant in a new pot at least 30% larger with fresh potting soil. Good Luck!

yup, nitrogen's the most likely

I added some seasol, and things started getting better. Since then we've had a few weeks of intensive rain, so its probly all leached out - I'll re-do it again soon. I'll link to the fotos when I finally uplaod them to flickr.
