It would be interesting to see amounts of each ingredient in order to try and do the same, maybe one day!

Ain’t nothin like the Alpine Oatmeal!
Reason for oatmeal is to have
A)something for the 500 worms I threw in the mix to eat
B) breaks down into good carbs and also food for the beneficial bacteria to feed on and break down
It’s truly a living/crawling soil!

Recycled organic living soil. You use mainly water with some teas and you empty your pot and reamend every cycle.

That makes no sense. Clay doesn’t ‘turn right into aluminum’ after any cycle. azomite is all minerals straight from a mineral source. People and animals all over the world eat azomite and the company sells it as an immune booster for livestock. Health advocate Sally Fallon lists it as a superfood in the bestselling book ‘Nourishing Traditions’. She explains that the alumina in azomite is not biologically available. It is bound to the silica and is an “aluminosilicate”. Silica counteracts metals. People and animals have been eating clay and dirt for health for thousands of years and all clay contains non-bioavailable aluminum and silica.

Big fan of this stuff also I’m my mix
Great non chemmy non potassium silicate Silica product
Trying to find out the actual chemical make up of the Silica though and can’t find it. It’s the sand from this gold mine in New Mexico I think
Testing this mix next run:
1/2 cup per cubic foot:
Langbeinite - K, Mag, Sulph,
Alfalfa meal - npk etc
Granular humid acids - chelator
Fish bone meal - N,P, CA
Kelp meal - npk, micros, hormones etc
Crab meal - npk, Ca, mag, chitin, microbial food
Azomite - minerals and trace elements
Rock phosphate - P, Ca - 1.5 cups per cubic foot.
Bio char approximately 10% volume
Worm casting approximately 10% volume
Beneficial ( great white, mammoth, recharge, or og bio war)
Pretty much water w/ occasionally adding mammoth and molasses.
In veg I’m feeding a diluted mix liquid kelp and fish emulsion.
I run recycled organic living soil I guess… and I change up amendments every time I need to add more.

The issue with Azomite and aluminum has to do with the application of fulvic acids and alginic acids (from kelp) which chleate the heavy metals allowing the plant to uptake them. Since cannabis is a dynamic accumulator, it has the capability of up taking and storing these heavy metals. The heavy metals are not a huge issue for oral consumption, but have the potential to release toxic compounds when combusted.

That makes zero sense. All plants can take up metals. Not just cannabis, which is why farmer’s markets in NYC often serve up lead-tainted produce. Trace minerals are always beneficial (Liebeg’s Law Carl Sprengel). Azomite is primarily silica and has been used in biodynamic agriculture since the 1940s. There are ten years worth of posts about it on this Grasscity thread: You to should use azomite! | Grasscity Forums - The #1 Marijuana Community Online

Im just sharing what I learned from Clackamas Coots regarding the aluminum in Azomite. Im not bashing Azomite, I think rock dusts are very important in soil recipes. I use basalt and glacial rock dust personally.
