Early this century geological prospector Rollin Anderson found deposits of montmorillonite clay in a valley south of Salt Lake City. U.S. Bureau of Mines analysis showed the clay is similar to Chilean/Peruvian caliche rocks from which much of the world’s nitrate was mined. Anderson ground montmorillonite as fine as possible, then put it in his garden. Results were a

Excellent Product! Highly Recommended,
I was hesitant to order this product because my tomatoes were growing okay, and I thought that was about as good as they could grow, but I was amazed at the immediate results I got when I added Azomite to the soil. When I added only one tablespoon of Asomite mixed with 2 gallons of water, I could hardly believe my eyes when I checked my tomatoes after work the very next day. They seemed to have jumped up about five inches overnight! Honestly, I could hardly believe it. I am a rank amature in the gardening department, but I didn’t have to be a pro to see that this product works. I’ll never be caught without it again.

|Works for Wheatgrass,
I don’t think my method for growing cereal grass can be considered strictly hydroponic but it IS soil-free, i.e., I use a combination of Hoffman vermiculite and Hoffman Canadian sphagnum moss (it’s chemical-free–you want to watch for that if you’re planning to consume what you grow). I’ve also been using SeaStart kelp fertilizer which does a great job but given that I’m not using soil and rely on supplemental lighting, I wanted to try taking fertilizing up a notch. I use Handy Pantry grain and ran across AZOMITE (sorry, I don’t have a small caps font) on their Web site. I liked what I read and on that basis, decided to give it a shot.
My growing trays are smaller than standard flats so I mix just a tablespoon of AZOMITE with my dry planting medium, after which I wet it down with my kelp solution (to which I now add 5 drops/pint of Nutri-Biotic Maximum GSE to help control mold). And it really did provide a boost–I’m growing gorgeous, healthy grass that’s (I imagine) as full of juice as grass can be (which admittedly isn’t much–it’s grass, after all) and that’s ready for harvest just over a week after I first soak the seeds for pre-sprouting.
My suggestion is that if you’re looking for a second crop from grass that has already been cut, give it a watering containing a second dose of AZOMITE as the initial tablespoon is pretty much utilized by the first crop. Don’t be afraid to combine AZOMITE with another safe, organic fertilizer such as SeaStart–they complement each other very nicely.
Wheatgrass is something of a pain to cultivate at home and AZOMITE has really contributed to my own success, in spite of my brown thumb. I can only imagine that it works equally well, if not better, on plants that aren’t as fussy.

|Always Add Azomite To Your Soil Mixture!,
Azomite is an excellent addition to your soil or soil-less mixture. It should be a staple in your line-up. It can keep deficiencies at bay and on those perfect runs it can add weight, flavor, resin, etc. Azomite has been included in all my soil runs since the first time I used it, I am that impressed with the results.
