    It's very aromatic & sweet. However, wasn't very productive in the Sonoran Desert. Also seemed to be a favorite of rabbits, vole & javelina.

    New scientific research from multiple sources regarding Nickel's interactions with Nitrogen fixation via bacteria which use (Iron, Sulfur & Molybdenum) in FeMo-Cofactor. Nickel has multiple pathways which both amplify & limit nitrogen fixation. The solution pH & the valence state of the nickel...

    You need to test your soil. You might need to filter your water & go hydroponic to have good success. If Nickel gets to high it inhibits FeMo-Cofactor enzyme activity. Nickel copolymerizes Zinc ligands. Nickel increases fungi invasive behavior. Test your water!!! If it is OK, I recommend...

    I wouldn't use Azomite on beans. Azomite varies between 8.1pH & 8.5pH It has high levels of Calcium Silicates & Aluminum Silicates. It's going to mess up the symbiosis on the roots, as well as reduce lateral branching of the plants, Plus make the beans small & hard. Test your soil. Having the...
