John, i know worms are good for the earth to make compost. If i get compost and mix it with my compost and soil/rock dust, should i throw worms in it? will they eat the minerals in the rock dust? will they ruin the compost ive already obtained?
by the way, you are too cute, i love your personality and you make me laugh all the time with your little jokes. :)

Low sodium sea solids is anothr great way to remineralize soils. Water soluable, sea solids can also be used for foliar feeding. (As can liquid fish, or kelp -two more high mineral plant food sources.)

If your garden is atop a backfilled rock and gravel quarry, do you think rock dust would still be necessary or beneficial?

@growingyourgreens @growingyourgreens Now what if you do a 30/30/30 kinda mix with rock dust/ top soil/fertilizer or something like that. I'm trying to figure out how to cut cost, cause yeah with 207 square ft bed that's a lot of material needed to fill it, it's only 1 foot high or so. But that is whole lot of top soil and fertilizer. The Dairies around my area give the manure away for free, the guy I called had nice old stuff like over 6 months of composting... Thanks in advance.

Well, I told them I wanted 200 mesh and they said 13$. I don't care about the lawn, but thanks for the info. It's a local Cemex plant, so I should be okay (btw I caught the answer in the video, but one ton is a bunch for only 200 sq ft.). Thanks for the info, now time to get my worms going for vermicompst.

john!!! yes rock dust/powder is great for remineralizing the depleted soil. seems like many ppl are too familiar with finding the name of the "save me pill", and enjoy buying products that come in packages. this does not have to be difficult at all, or cost any money at all to remineralize our gardens and bodies.
just use wood ashes. spread in the soil, done.
it's been proven yr after yr by the ppl who practice this the most in their garden with their longest life span, the japanese.

Can you just use ironite instead?
wrnglers9 1 month ago
Ironite is NOT the same as Azomite / Rock Dust.

My question is how much is too much? The company here in my local city sells 1 ton for 13 bucks... I need 207 square ft worth, and is there anything that says over kill? I wouldn't mind putting a bit extra under the bed (I'm going to be making a raised bed, and I'm wanting to lay some down before I place dirt back in, and then maybe mix some when I put the dirt back down)?

You can not "burn" your plants with too much rock dust. That being said, if the rock dust is more "rocky" (with larger particle sizes) you need to add more to ensure you get alot of smaller particle sizes. I would purchase a ton, and mix in say 20% rock dust into your soil. Save the rest and use it for the rest of your yard, (if you have a lawn) or other landscaping plants growing, they will appreciate the rock dust too, or put it in a pile and save it or share the extra with some friends.

Hey John, I saw your video where you planted onions and you put a lot of rock dust on them. On the Azomite instruction it says 1 heaping teaspoon per i gallon. If you have a 10x 10 space how much would you put on?

10x10 = 100 square feet. According to Don's recommendations 100 pounds would be a good amount. In the other video, I was planting garlic.
