REPORT: David L. Rice, California transplant to St. George, Utah, realtor by profession, has a green thumb. A favorite passtime of David's is growing things, organically. He has learned several secrets along the way on composting, such as how to turn kitchen scraps and lawn cuttings into valuable humus. But that is not all. This year he got over 200% more blossoms on his Roma Tomato plants than in any previous year. "The plants are assuming the size of hedges. You can see the ones on the side yard from the front gate about to grow over the wall into the neighbor's yard!" exclaims David (who could be mistaken for the rejuvenated King Thorin from Lord of the Rings).
David's secret formula: he isn't saying, but he will tell you that his friend, Joe Collet gave him some magic mineral dust that seemed to boost his proprietary blend of liquid fertilizer and plant vitamins that he recently used, in part, to treat his mother's planters at Cliff View that are now the envy of her neighborhood. The paid landscapers and gardeners keep pressing him about what he did, but only a few people know. Joe, who quarries the minerals for his friends and customers alike, reports a Mexican customer got a 100% improvement on tomatillo last year when he started applying the minerals. Testimonials abound. You can read more about the success of this amazing, colloidal clay with all-naturally-chelated trace elements that is used as a soil builder, and for water retention purposes, acts as a pH balancer, and has catalytic properties that make bound-up nutrients bio-available by going to: http://www.montmorillonite.biz/affiliates/minerals/docs/Tomatoes.pdf . Everybody who uses it raves about it. It makes no difference what kind of yields you are getting, they will always improve with the proper remineralization of the soil.
"I didn't get any hornworm (Sphinx Moth) caterpillars on my tomato plants since I started using the trace minerals," emphasizes Mr. Rice. "There definitely seems to be a fertility-enhancing something or other in the montmorillonite clay in which the trace elements are imbedded because I can't give the tomatoes away fast enough. I'm practically feeding the whole neighborhood and every morning I go out to the garden and there are several dozen more. My mother told me to stop bringing her tomatoes. I guess I overplanted this year, but what great this news this is for commercial growers." It could revolutionize the agricultural and hydroponics industry. We could get completely away from pesticides and herbicides contaminating our ground water if everyone started using this stuff.
Also works great on lawns. "I have a client in California who has been putting the clay mineral out on yellow and brown spots caused by stray dogs and his first tests show a complete turnaround in a matter of weeks." Landscapers, gardeners and home-owner's associations should be thrilled about this solution. "As a real estate agent, I know the value of have a well-kept lawn and verdant garden in attracting conscientious home buyers and in commanding the top price," quips Rice.
By the way southern Utah is a great place to move to right now. The home prices are very attractive, and it is still a realtively small community compared to Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City. Plus the weather is significantly nicer--a little cooler than Vegas in the Summer and considerably warmer than SLC in the Winter.
