Question 1

It contains toxic heavy metals.  (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic).  is this really safe to be applying around garden plants?

Accepted Answer

Try to grow vegetables without trace minerals. That's what AgriFarming has been doing for years. If you want to move the volcano that azonite comes from onto your garden, then you might have a problem. But your plants aren't going to grow without the minerals in products like azomite. You can use organic eggshells or Epsom salts if you're truly worried that you will die of arsenic or lead poisoning (which isn't going to happen) But I guess it's more fun to tell people the sky is falling. Just make sure it really is.

Question 2

Does anyone know the NPK value for this product?

Accepted Answer

It's 0-0-0.2. No nitrogen, no phosphorous, and only a tiny bit of potassium. Azomite is useful for boosting the trace micronutrients in your soil, but it doesn't replace a standard NPK fertilizer.

Question 3

Is this granular size Azomite?

Accepted Answer

no...this is the "micronized" version meaning it is a very fine powder.

Question 4

If i'm recycling my soil do i re-apply azomite at the same rate each time i transplant?

Accepted Answer

Azomite doesn't burn plants, so you don't put them at risk to reapply for a new transplant. Since you added Azomite the first time you prepared your soil, the plant that was there before being recycled will have used some of the nutrients available, and those would need to be replaced in the soil for the new transplant.
