Re: Soil & Powdered Rock

[Aurora Farm]

Hello Dan: Woody and I have a little familiarity with Azomite which is available through Peaceful Valley Farm Supply. As the fields and plants haven't showed a  lacking in minerals we have instead used them for our own health and well being and for that of the animals,- cow, chickens, dog, cat, fish and birds. I understand that it is applied directly to the soil surrounding the plants in question. Several articles are in Secrets of the Soil on the mineral powders.

Some "rock dust" examples I've seen are Planters II, Volcanite, Azomite, glacial rock dust,  Summa minerals, etc. I'd like to get some feedback from some who have used and the soil/plant responses.  Did you put them in compost or use directly on the field?  Did they have an analysis with them?
