[Minerals use and evidence of deficiency] I notice that many deficiencies manifest as yellowed or sickly-looking leaves. I was so pleased with the results of remineralization for the 2015 season - leaves of all the plants had good color and appeared very healthy. text/html 2015-07-23T22:48:33+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://davidbach.net/wiki/doku.php?id=garden:cultivate:tasks:remineralization:reservations&rev=1437691713&do=diff Reservations about remineralization Increased complexity It happens in our technological society that we sometimes increase the complexity of something (such as fertilizing a garden) well past the point where demising returns take over. That is the more time, effort and physical resources we apply, the increased productivity fails to compensate for the additional inputs. In my opinion remineralization looks something like a complex and time-consuming way to implement the law of diminishing ret… text/html 2016-10-09T23:08:55+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://davidbach.net/wiki/doku.php?id=garden:cultivate:tasks:remineralization:results&rev=1476054535&do=diff Results Planning It has been fun to learn some of the principles of soil amendment. I understand better the complexity of soil chemistry and biology. And it has consumed a good bit of my free time during the slow winter time. So both are good.

OddJob mixer [A great mixer for small batcher]I use the OddJob for mixing the minerals, as well as my potting soil, which includes seedling mix, worm castings and complete organic fertilizer. It is also used for mixing small batches of concrete, but works even better for mixing minerals and potting soil.
