Soils and adding IRONITE
THANKS!!! I've gone to the site and I'm appalled at this. I'm getting rid
of my bag today.....NOW. "Timothy" wrote in message s.com...

She convinced me to use it myself when I saw the massive improvement in the size and health of her plants in just a year. If I'm only using this in my perennials (the bag says NO BURN) why will they grow lush and larger? I have red clay soil and I've ammended with compost, worm soil, and cheap topsoil. I've done a search in my gardening books and nothing comes up on IRONITE. If you saw the results that Karol had with bareroot plants that were just 18 months old, you'd have converted to Ironite in the soil too. I appreciate the trouble you're going to on this. I need to learn as much as possible, and before I start mixing massive amounts of soils and Ironite I need to make sure it won't have long term effects on my plants and possibly us. If it's safe, just let me know.... madgardener still learning about this whole thing Sorry for steping in on this conversation, but I have at least two customers a year asking about ironite. I had to field so many questions on ironite that I researched it. My findings were a bit unsettling to say the least. Ironite is mine waste from the Iron King Mine in Arizona. http://www.envirolaw.org/poison.html You can look up the metal contents he http://agr.wa.gov/PestFert/Fertilize...B/Product1.asp |
