AZOMITE™ PRODUCTS
- Green Label - Organic Fertiliser. Micronised AZOMITE™, a minus 325 mesh- the powder
is used for feeds and fertilizer. Many people do not like the difficulties
associated with handling a dusty product, so we have created granules
by agglomerating the dust.
- Blue Label - Organic Fertiliser. Feed grade
granules and Greens grade fertilizer, a minus 12 and plus 40 mesh AZOMITE™ - very small granules for
good dispersion in the feed created because the equipment in many
feed mills cannot easily handle the powder. The only contemplated
fertiliser use of these small granules is for golf greens where the
small granules will not interfere with the golf ball when it rolls.
(At least some of the metallic dioxides in it, are more easily
dissolved in slightly acidic water. The micronised powder form is
mixed with water and a small amount of bentonite (@ 1% weight:weight)
and then put through a screw mechanism that results in the formation
of small, wet granules of the material. Afterwards, these are dried
and the resultant product is the granule with a somewhat hardened
shell. The shell will crumble fairly easily.)
- Orange Label - Organic Fertiliser. Granulated AZOMITE™, a minus 4 and plus 12 mesh
- Larger fertilizer granule for easy spreading with mechanical fertiliser
spreaders.
- Purple label - Organic Fertiliser. Granulated AZOMITE™ Soil Sweetener, a 50/50
blend of AZOMITE™ and a high quality
calcium limestone - It is blended for a couple of reasons. First so
a convenient one step granulated product is available to the consumer
and second because many users would not understand the difference
between the effect on soil by a calcium limestone product versus a
dolomite limestone that has high levels of magnesium in it. The magnesium
will tie up the alkaline benefits of the calcium that are necessary
to neutralize the acid soils.
This organic fertiliser soil sweetener product was created because recent scientific
studies indicate many, if not most, forms of woody plant (trees and
vines) decline are caused by mineral deficiencies which cause the
bark to split and allow insect and fungi infestation at the splits.
The mineral deficiencies are generally a result of soil acidification.
The acid kills the fine upper roots and mobilizes many of the minerals
to be more readily depleted by water. The acid soil conditions are
caused by the general aging process as the trees use up the minerals,
by the acids created during leaf decay (natural burning or planned
burning in the past turned the leaves back into minerals), and by
mosses (on the tree trunks or on the soil under the drip line of the
tree) that create acids in their normal growing process. AZOMITE™ Soil Sweetener counteracts the acid soil by adding active calcium
and then re-mineralizes the depleted soil. Trees that are not too
far gone will respond quickly and show significant progress (more
leafs and deeper green leafs) within a few months. Small bark cracks
will probably heal when the minerals are taken up by the tree. Larger
bark cracks with infestations may be helped by a direct application
of minerals to the cracks (add water and paint it on). Trees can absorb
minerals directly through the bark and leaves. Healthy trees with
adequate minerals do not have split bark which allows insect and fungi
infestations.
