Dear John,
I thought I would throw in something that some people in this group may be
interested in and it is flyash or qloxinty. This is the bi-product from such
industry as iron smeltering and energy production from fossil fuels. I have
been using this product in my part of the world with many plants in my
collection for about three years and found it to be superiour to anything I
have tried on some plants. The growth rates that I have on my collection of
worsleya is second to none, that I have seen, since I started using a 50%
mix. I am fortunate in that I can purchase it already graded to between 4
and 10mm particles, anyone in my neighbourhood can drop in and see it for
themselves.
Kind Regards and Best Wishes
