I have used Azomite for years but can't testify to what difference it made. I am somewhat boggled by the size of some of the stems this year. Athena is astounding, at least in my part of the world. I have never seen stems so big. As big as an anomola.
I mentioned to Mike at ABG about catching anomola seeds this fall in organza bags and he said he would be interested in the germination rate. So I will add to my program counting the seeds before planting. Might take better than a year to get results, or two or three, but if we are going to plant seeds we might as well get some useful information at the same time.
