Seeing as healthy garden soil is about 20% - 30% clay do you want to
expand on your view of colloidal clay?

The paper doesn't mention clay colloids nor the effect of soil on the
nutritional value of vegetables. I am sorry I don't understand what
you are getting at - what do you have in mind Billy?

From our previous conversation, I got the feeing that there was more you
wanted to say about your plots or fields, as if there was a uniqueness
that was instructive in them. Maybe not.

Any feel for the sand, silt, clay composition of you garden? (If that is
the right term. I never did know the magnitude of your farming/gardening
efforts.) What do you grow?

There was a term, "mineralized", that didn't get explained. Upon further
reading, I find it refers to the release of cell nutrient to the soil
upon the death of the organism (especially important because of the
colonies of bacteria that have a symbiotic relationship with the growing
tips of the roots).
