Azomite volcanite dust

Post: # 161399Post prison break fan »

Has anyone tried Azomite? If so is it as good as they say, and does anyone know where to buy it? It is volcanic dust and is popular in the USA, but I can't find it here. Would be grateful! pbf.

I tried some 2 years ago and can't honestly say that I noticed any difference in the outdoor veg garden, but I think it had some effect in my polytunnel.
I grew some Fortune peas in there that are supposed to grow to 2 foot high and mine reached the roof.
I have to say that my polytunnel straddles our soakaway and there is a strip across it which is mainly sub-soil, so it may have helped there.
Mine was Seer Rockdust which I assume is the same as your volcanic stuff ..... http://www.seercentre.org.uk/
