Surviving Minnesota!

A couple years ago I put Azomite in my garden and the tomatoes were the best I’ve ever grown. Found it on amazon.

Azomite is the "wonder drug" for the garden especially if you have sandy soil. It is amazing the difference it makes in the final product. I have had it increase the sweetness and improve the texture of tomatoes. It makes my beets so sweet that I can't use my normal recipe when pickling beets.

Erli: I think I just read about this. That's like a lime with Magnesium? right?

If so how wonderful to get an added mineral in there.

BC you need chicks to raise . Empty nest and all . You need something to mother . Hey got a call from the electrician . He is wiring the cabin .

Electricity is like everything. Woot. Excited for you Jerry!
I would love to do chicks but my coop is full and I may just enjoy my car garage without mini droplets of cecal poops for the summer. Haha. Fluffy butt love here for sure but I think I'm an every other year chicken person. With any more internal layers and any fox/bobcat hits I'll be begging to chick sit next summer.
I have a friend in Brainerd who is now just asking me about chickens, though. LOL. I might be able to get a couple of pullets sold for you...

I just treated a round of mites Friday. Left overs from Kitty who I put down a few weeks ago. No doubt. It never pays to delay...
Retreat in 9 days. The Ivermectin cattle pour on is amazing.

I looked up the results for lav orp over buff orp and they are spot on.

My friend who is a gardener has always said they put their fireplace ashes on the garden. So the Potash makes sense. now. Her Mother-in-law has incredible gardens.

No, azomite is trace minerals mined outside of Salt Lake City, Utah.

It is not lime. Lime is a combination of calcium hydroxide and Calcium oxide.

Again, if your soil is acidic, adding a base (ashes) can be beneficial. If your soil is already basic, adding ashes is a bad thing. It is important to know what you have before you go adding things.
