After reading the various reviews, I decided to give this product a try. I often read great reviews, try the product and get only mediocre results but not this time. This thing really works and its fast. As other reviewers have commented, the following day I noticed an increase in growth. I have used this on tomatoes, eggplant, onions, and papaya plants and all appear to have benefitted as evidence by upsurge in growth. The one downside is that the product came in a 2lb bag and requires a heaping tablespoon per gallon. The small bag will not last and I am searching locally for the larger 44lb bag. Beyond this I must admit this product has had the most dramatic effect of any organic product that I have tried so far. Excellent product and the real deal.Update 6/16: I have continued using this product and it has not disappointed. It is most effective on fruit or flower bearing plants. The effects are most noticeable on the first treatment. Definite increase in fruit and flower production. A purchased a bag for my brother and after some initial wariness, he swears by the product also.

I am a small backyard vegetable container gardener looking for organic ways to grow and nourish the produce I grow. I have used Terracycle's worm poop in the past and I was very pleased with it, however I could no longer find this product in stores. I was looking at Youtube for ideas and suggests on how to grow a garden organically when I stumbled across a channel called "Growing your Greens" and the gentleman John K. suggest using Azomite. I gave this a try and I would like to say it appears to be working just fine. The results are not instant all the time. Sometimes I can put the azomite around by plants and in a week or so I will see improvement. At other times I can mix the azomite with a gallon of water to fertilize my plants and will see an improvement the very next day. I have very good root development in most of my vegetable plants. Since my garden is small I ordered the 2lb size before I made an investment to buy a larger size. The two pound bag was a good size for my small garden. Doesn't require you to use a lot at once. I will definitely purchase again in the bigger size in the future.

I read many reviews regarding this product ranging from its "radioactivity" to its uselessness. I personally had a positive experience. My mimulus was dying as the potting soil was sucked dry of the trace mineral content (due to fabulous and continual flowering for a year or so.)Within a week of adding this dust to the pot, the plant threw new shoots. The leaves started growing to the proper size and the necrosis stopped.My mimulus has survived and the only thing that was different between when it was dying and now was the presence of this dust in the pot. I sprinkled it liberally and watered the pot so as to make the dust trickle down into the deeper layers. I also turned the top layer and mixed it well.I feel safe to conclude that the dust saved my plant. I have now started using it in my other pots.And yes, the packaging was exactly as in the photo.

This is a good product which I recommend for potted plants. I have not tried it outside in the yard, and I will not do so until end of fall, because the weather in AZ is foul right now.The potted plants that received one azomite 'booster' have showed real improvement and started outgrowing the pots. I recommend starting with a small dose in the water as you water the plants. Be careful because you can 'burn' the soil if you overdo these 'boosters'. In my experience, once every six months for indoor/potted plants is sufficient.
