Kourik talks about cutting back the dynamic accumulators if they grow under a plant that needs the minerals they mine, or digging them into the soil if they grow elsewhere. He says, "Grow accumulator plants in or around your landscape to gather nutrients for use in the edible areas."


Or add pure wettable sulphur around orchards along with quarry rock powders
and other mineral rich soil amendments like azomite and greensand. Suplhur
can be

added to soils with rish of toxicity or nutrient impbalance but it does lower
pH.

Typo:

that should read: "without risk of toxicity or nutrient imbalance"


My approach would be to add a mix of quarry dusts, rock phosphate, colloidal
phosphate,
aragonits, high calciium limestone, sulphur or gypsum, azomite, aand
greensand. At
the same time add manures and composts plus liberal amounts of composted hay
and weeds.
Best to make a mix of manures, composted biomass, P and K sources and mineral
amendments
and add this at one time to soils used for gardens and orchards and apply as
an amendment
around existing individual plantings of trees and perennials.

_Then_ see how your harvested fruit tastes. Use other strategies such as
manipulating
dynamic accumulators as needed after completing a major soil improvement
program.
