Hi All,
Has anyone ever used a mineral fertiliser called Azomite in their garden. I would like to hear your feedback. I cam across this product on youtube while searching for ways to improve by dragon fruit yield. I bought 5 kgs of this product and got it delivered it to me yesterday. I'm keen to apply it on my garden this weekend but would love to hear othe people's thought on this product.

The below link is the official website for this product in Australia if you are interested to read more about it.

Hi Michael, ive heard good things about it - but surely there is a similar product here in Australia? Its imported all the way from Utah!

A guy in my area use to make a similar product which ive used over my whole block and vegie beds but has since retired. Everything seems very healthy but as usual its hard to quantify theses things!

Very hard to find impartial comments on the web about this stuff. When they go quoting people who say their vegetables grew so big and fast that the grower asked how to stop them, I get somewhat skeptical!!!

There was something from the 90's where someone found no difference, but apparently the great results only came to people who used it in conjunction with a bacteria source such as cow manure.

There are definitely products mined in Australia, such as this one:

Thanks Rich and Mick. I'm taking before and after shots of my fruit trees to see any significance in growth or quality of the fruit yield from this product. I'll give it a few months before I'll comment on this product in a future post.

Sounds like a name they could have used for that new vegemite
