Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

You mention mineralizing the soil. I've used some natural minerals and
we're getting spectacular growth on ground that supports nothing but rabbit
brush and sparse wildflowers. But I also combined alfalfa meal and aged
manure with the bone meal, greensand, molasses, and seaweed concentrate.
And let it all cook through the winter and snow. Somewhere in  there is
something those plants crave.
