I am going to be experimenting with this this year. 10# is good for 1000 sq ft. I purchased it on line and split it with my neighbor.

be sure to scroll down on the page and read the plant studies they have done with this stuff.

We experimented with my neighbors weak sickly house plants and we were amazed at what happened in less than two weeks to all of them! Growing like crazy... and its not that they were never fed before! There is something special about this stuff I think.

We are also planting some pasture this spring so I plan to experiment on a section of that too.

well we have been experimenting with the paramagnetic minerals around my neighborhood, this time of year all with house plants and their response is quite remarkable. One neighbor, a long time farmer got so excited I was suppose to order a bunch for him with my order today.

Then I find out the company is closed down due to some sort of operating difficulties. :(

So I started to search for other products and found a few. Most resport excellent results similar to what I had.

I found a Utah trace minerals product that I may try

http://www.wheatgrasskits.com/azomite.htm or
http://www.planetnatural.com/site/azomite.html

and a glacial ice mineral product

Maybe some of you have used green sand?

Don't any of you guys ammend your soils wit trace minerals... what I have been learning about them this past week is really quite remarkable, can take gardening to a new level.

I use some of the oyster shells I get for my ducks around the plants. While the minerals help, it is mainly to keep those evil slugs off my stuff :p

So what got me to thinking about this was that I am building a lasagna garden, and I'm using all the usual stuff, staw, hay, kitchen scraps, homemade compost... and then it dawned on me that everything I am using is nonorganic and likely comes from depleted soils...

Ya, the farmers throw maneur on the fields and likely some other high powered mineral stuff too and that maneur is made from cattle dung who were fed nonorganic grains likely from depleted soils also.

then I started to think about iodine deficiency and how prevalant it is in this country and how could I naturally get iodine into my organic garden...

well I wasn't seeing that it was going to come from any of the stuff I was composting with and then I realized that likely many other minerals would still be lacking.... how can you get them from compost that is made out of depeted stuff? You can't. So although your garden may be organic, no pesticides, no herbacides, that does not mean that those veggies are really healthy just like people walking around with all their nutritonal deficiency diseases...they kinda look ok on the outside, but inside they are heading for trouble or already are in trouble

Too true.

My parents used to bury bullheads and catish in the garden. There was some minerals from the bones.

I guess if you had access to seaweed that would be a good one.

There are a lot of minerals in dandelions and plantains. If you add those to your compost that would help too. I feed those to the ducks and they...uhhhh...convert them for me.

My grandmother use to bury fish in her garden also.

This site offeres about 6 pages of mineral type supplements for the garden including a kelp product

Im thinking of getting either the glacial rock or this folloqinf stuff because they have checked out the paramagnetic values. Not as high as what I have but I will take what I can get till Paramagnetic rocks reopens their mine. the goss is about 1200 on this, 7,000 on Paramagnetic.

We're big fish eaters, and I like to throw the extra bones as well as crushed shell from shrimp and clams into our compost as well. I was always told fish was great for the garden by my grandparents too.

All those minerals are important, and easily forgotten about!

If you can throw the shells from fish into compost/garden, could I do it with crawfish?

The only thing is that they would be boiled and therefore seasoned. and I think they would attract animals.

Any deep rooted weed is good in the compost. Those deep roots bring the minerals from down deep and put them where shallower rooted plants can use them.
I'd have access to all the kelp I can use just by picking it up at the beach but it's such a pain to get all the salt out of it.

If you do Bokashi composting you can compost amimal products without any problem. I just read that most of the schools in Tuscon use bokashi composting!
