Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
 

This material is supposed to move air and water into the soil. Anyone used it
in vegetable gardening? In conjunction with what kind of fertilizer?
Chemical? Manure?

It's a detergent generally used in shampoo. Someone is trying to sell
you high-priced shampoo for your garden. Just buy a bottle of Suave.
But it seems like a poor garden chemical to me because it foams so much.

I use it as an insecticide. It drowns insects by wetting them down and
suffocating them. It has the advantage of not having sodium. The ammonium
will supply some nitrogen, but it is a poor and expensive way of doing it.
