Azomite Rock Dust - 10 Pounds

I love this stuff for all of my plants. I use it for ALL of my plants. When i moved into my house (in AZ) the roses in the front yard were looking rough from not being taken care of. First idea? Rose fertilizer and water. Then Azomite. Before you say "but you used fertilizer" i had made a mistake. I hadn't used fertilizer on one of the 4 plants (i was distracted by other obligations.) All 4 roses recovered well. The 3 fertilized ones, definitely put on more leaves, which is why i had realized that i had missed the fertilizer on the 4th bush. Nonetheless without the azomite, not sure they would have recovered without.I have noticed yields on my garden have improved with the ONLY difference is using azomite. Might be because i have to use bagged dirt, as native dirt in Arizona is TERRIBLE for most vegetables. I know i won't convince people who call it snake oil, but for the price, i cannot complain about this add in to my gardens.

I used to have blight on my tomatoes early on. I used to be a recipient of tomato donations from my in-laws because I can't produce enough good tomatoes for canning. That changed this year, when I tried azomite mixed into the soil as I transplanted my seedlings (same seedlings my in-laws raised for all of us). Now my in-laws' tomatoes look like they are at the end of their production...also have blight. Mine look healthy -- not only foliage but also fruits. I have never had tomatoes this productive and healthy!For comparison, I uploaded here a photo of my tomatoes in 2014 (1st pic), which to me was good enough. (2015 tomatoes had early blight I did not even have enough to make a batch for canning). This year, I used azomite based on reviews I read here, and look at the difference! 2nd to 5th photos are all from this year, after I removed the first batch of red ones. And I have more tomatoes to look forward to. My in-laws' tomatoes look pathetic compared to mine, and my sister-in-laws' were hit by the blight despite planting the tomatoes in pots instead of the ground. For the first time in my gardening history, I will be the one donating tomatoes to them. It feels soooo good to be able to do that!

Bought this to jump start my compost bin. I guess it works and it is supposed to but I have never done a compose pile before so I would be able to tell you if it makes things better. The rock dust, it that, dust. It comes as a very fine powder and I hope the results are as ggod as I am led to believe. Azomite came in a ziploc style bag that doesn't close back very well,but that wasn't why I bought it.

This is an excellent soil amendment. I have have a working kitchen garden with nice rich soil. I have been building good dirt for years now and have finally managed to turn Florida soil, mostly sand, into a suitable soil for growing vegetables. However, this additive which is reported to add minerals back to the soil, is amazing.Three days after planting seeds I have strong sprouts! Nice, strong, healthy sprouts from soil that usually offers a good sprout in four or five days. The new plants are vigorous and healthy. I am really delighted. The price per pound for the small bag is fine for a trial bag, but at 44 pounds, the price per pound is manageable. I bought the big bag and am glad of it.I can also "side dress" existing plants and have done so with very good result. I highly recommend. For me, it is better than fertilizer.

This stuff is amazing. If you even suspect that your soil has been played out, even in the distant past, Azomite is your one step solution. This stuff really does work miracles. Yellow to green overnight, and followed by an amazing growth spurt. Played out, mineral deficient soils are probably the vast majority of all soils in America today. When in doubt, play it safe with your prized plantings - get some Azomite (20 lbs. is cost effective and you will use it). Pay attention to the directions - don't rely on P = Plenty, too much is still too much.

I use it when planting the trees and in raised bed preparation. When I've planted blueberries I amended the soil with gypsum and rock dust and they are still alive and doing well. The last years plants without it all died.Raised beds are all amended with it and all the veggies are growing strong.I can't tell if it's because of rock dust or I learned more about growing veggies(this is my second year only) but I'll be using it again. My soil is alkaline and there are quite a few amendments for alkaline soils, but rock dust is USDA approved in organic gardening and it will make a difference. Also,all the fruit trees I've planted in March are doing quite well despite the drought and Santa Ana winds.I highly recommend it.

Azomite Rock dust is a must have in your vegetable garden. The benefits of using rock dust is to give your soil a perfect foundation to grow a healthy garden by supplying your plants with proper nutrition to grow healthy, vibrant and nutritional. How much to use? About 1 pound per square foot of soil initially to re-mineralize soil, if practical for you cost wise. Maintenance dose would be a quarter of a pound per square foot. After my garden is planted, I sprinkle about a tablespoon per plant around the plant and let the water soak it in, approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. Remember, healthy plants equal healthy you!

I don't think this helped my plants much one way or the other. It was very easy to use.Amazon is asking me to rate for flavor, which is very disturbing, as this was not meant for human consumption, but rather for garden and houseplant use.Since it wasn't really beneficial for my plants I don't think it was a good value for my money. You may have better luck than I did. I do live in CO and have mineral rich soil that is somewhat poor in organic matter. I amended my soil with compost, manure, and this supplement. I also used this in several custom mixes for various houseplants, raining from tropical mixes to desert mixes.
