It is pruning time again. This is when I treat my citrus to a good going over for gall wasp and also a general tidy up. I always prune three times, as it is so easy to miss galls. I made the mistake…Continue

Dianne Caswell commented on Roger Clark's blog post Roger's Palogonite experiment growing tomatoes"I have been using Palagonite for quite a while in the Vegetable Garden, but obviously not to the amount that was needed. We recently renovated the front garden and planted Citrus Trees along with Lavender and Salvia for Companions. In that new…"
Elaine de Saxe commented on Roger Clark's blog post Roger's Palogonite experiment growing tomatoes"I use Palagonite a lot but I have never done a 'side by side' experiment so my results are not really useful. It's not only the minerals but other ingredients as well afaik. I use a measure of Palagonite, a measure of Gypsum as my…"

Palagonite - BOGI talk
Posted on April 9, 2017 at 8:19 14 Comments 5 Favorites
I made it along to BOGI on Thursday evening for once, It is an hour plus drive from downtown Park Ridge and I often don't make the effort, but I'm glad I did this time. Some of you might have seen the ABC news on Saturday where they also had a segment about the same subject - Palagonite. They showed Polo fields in Qatar, which have been treated with Palagonite and have great results getting grass to grow there.
Palagonite is a mineral mix formed by very specific volcanic activity. Mt…

Surely as it is a product of a respected Uni it should work. It would be a huge boon to not only Organic Gardeners but also the general public, as conventional farmers will be able to grow fruit, etc. without poisonous sprays and this will not only make the…
