Isn't salt is NaCl and not KCL? I wonder if electrolysis can help reduce NaCl, I think it would release a lot of Cl2 (dangerous nerve gas) thus leave behind NaOH.H2O which is a base. Then reducing the base according to david hudson way.

I'm not sure about using electrolysis, to reduce the "salt" content. Could work, but it's not the natural method I'm looking for.

RE: Minerals
Quote:
I ordered the 50 Lb bag of glacial minerals and it came today. My first target is to combine some hydrogen peroxide with a little bit of sugar with some compost in a bag then toss in some minerals, then let that brew with a bubbler for about 24 hours. So far the worm compost has done excellent. To insure I get the minerals I have gone with goat whey minerals as a supplement. I have heard that the minerals act like a catalyst for the bacteria in the compost heap think I will try mixing some in my next self watering containers and do a dusting on top of the ones I have now. In my newest video I have tried to change the PH of water to acidic but the results were poor. I am thinking I shoud not of used standard table salt I should of used sea salt, which is an excellent source of minerals. Think I will try it again with a clean batch of water and sea salt. Cheers! Mart P.S I am in northern center of Florida.

bumper crops
Quote:
flooding from the ocean that didn't happen very often at all. The crops that grew afterward didn't just grow fine, they were "bumper" crops in their words. I posted those references somewhere in this ag forum. Probably if those areas flooded on a regular basis, there may be too much build up but the results were spectacular from the floods that were reported. |

salt
Quote:
It is a sodium chloride extract, which doesn't have any of the other minerals or trace minerals. Salt, literally should have 74+ minerals and trace minerals. Sodium chloride extract with dextrose and other anti-caking agents, etc... causes cancer and a bunch of other problems. I like Celtic salt as a preference but usually use Real Salt. |

- do charging the earth will help reduce salt saturation? - do utilizing earth electricity increase salt saturation If first is true then we can restore salted land by electrolizing. Maybe with radiant charger since it would allow automatic voltage from 2000V to 0.1V depend on earth resistance. If the second is true then we are doing bad thing if we tap the electricity

liquid ionic minerals diluted
Good find Savvy pro!
I have used this diluted to water plants for the same effect since it comes from sea water. Liquid ionic minerals intended as a dietary supplement: Amazon.com: Liqumins ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops, Low Sodium, 8-Ounce Bottle: Health & Personal Care I use that exact brand from Concentrace - used to sell it in my health food store. |

Mineralizing my gardens
On my ranch (S.Cal) the soil is alkali with ph levels ranging between 7-9 I till in Ag sulfur to help with the ph, but this doesn't help with available minerals.
I keep goats and will soon be adding chickens to the mix, the goats keep a steady supply of manure (poop and wasted alfalfa) going to the compost heap, this with the weeds and trimmings from the gardens and a little of my neighbors horse poop makes for some pretty good compost, still mineral challenged. Every month or so my lady friend and I take the truck and head for a day at the beach, we spend the day gathering up the kelp (sea weed) that has washed ashore usually 3-4 trash bags full. At home we add this into the compost and turn it in, I'm sure this remedies the mineral problem, since we started this our gardens produce huge amounts of the best tasting fruits,veggies and berries and in bumper quantities. I haven't had the soil mix tested and don't see a need to do so, but if you have an ocean within reach I suggest you gather the sea weed for your garden. L&L David

For info: Kelp contains something like 62 different minerals - I've seen some sites quote up to 90 minerals, but from the info I’ve seen on sonic bloom I’ve only seen 62 minerals. The way it’s used sure does get results.

seaweed
David,
That is a GREAT idea! I hope it will be a good way to do it for a long time. If they don't stop that "oil spill" in the gulf, in 18 months it could make its way to every major beach on the planet. |

concentrace minerals
I found that out too. Might be hard for people to find properly
mineralized food unless they grow it themselves. In the meantime they can use real salt and supplement even more with purified desalinated sea water trace minerals like Concentrace. I've used this type of mineral supplement for about 15 years and it is superior to any other type of mineral supplement - all in perfect ionic form. About 75+ or so minerals and trace minerals. One bottle like that lasts one person about 3 months so around $5/month. 20 drops per day for average adult use. |

a thought
a poor man's rock dust / mineral source could be found at the side
of the road at any road intersection ? i was lacking sand and didn't wish to purchase a bag of it.. so i thought i'd go sweep up some from the road side at the intersection ... hmmmm, this stuff is dusty and mostly rock (some glass) .. i double-sifted it and i think it has potential. 1st sift large rocks, etc. out. the second sifting resulted in about 4-8 sand grain sized pebbles and the dusty dirt / rock smaller than those. the 4-8 grain size should be good for fungi to break down for feeding minerals to the plants as well.

rock dust
Vortex,
You can go to gravel pits and ask for some fine mesh screenings. Should be able to get some at little to nothing, especially if you just want enough for a garden. |

Lava Rock

Had been thinking about rock dust in the past. Since a neighbor and friend owns a concrete plant it should be easy enough for me to get them for our farm. Thanks for reminding me.

lava rock
I used to throw a bucket full of volcanic rocks in a cement mixer with some water and let it spin for about half an hour then tip the water in to a bucket to put on the garden and simply tip more water into the mixer for another batch of mineral rich water.
Now a friend makes and sells it commercially.
