Langbeinite is commonly known as K-Mag otherwise known as Sul-Po-Mag but really it's 0-0-22 which is 27% sulphur, 22% potash and about 18% magnesium oxide or about 11% magnesium otherwise known as potassium magnesium sulfate or double sulfate of potash and the chemical 'formula' is K2SO4-2MgSO4 or something like that. It rocks when used at a low % of a global mix and better in concentrated zones down low in the pot or hole. It takes a few weeks to become available. A great K source and since a salt really not good to load up on globally.
This is a bit off topic for this thread but...if you're composting and have a lot of humus in your mix or stuff converting to humus through the cycle you don't really need any lignite. It does add value though but in a enviro strongly dependent on composting and tons of organic matter I think your $ would be better spent elsewhere. I can easily see something like whole lignite working well in a sandy soil. If you do use lignite particle size is really important. I have talked to farm consultants who use a whole product that outperforms humic extracts and mainly about the starting particle size
. When you get down to about 1 micron it really kicks ass and starts acting immediately.
Not sure really how that would work in a tea but ya need sulphur. Some will say sulphur is in great part responsible for weed's dankness. Gypsum is a good sulphur source but can't speak on plant type amendment sources.
when people on the canna forums talk about adding molasses they often remind us to use non sulphur types ie blackstrap or equivallent.seems that sulfur/sulphur is bad for some benne microorganisms. so i'm asking for clarification. thanks.
How much is glacial milk per gallon Coot?
So the cows drink the glacial runoff and then we milk 'em? Can we bottle it and store it for later use or will it go bad? I guess this qualifies as off topic huh.........
