I got a 50# bag of Azomite from a farm in VA for about $25 ppd. I worked it into my various garden plots this year. I figured it wouldn't hurt.
OH SHIT. Some plants look perfectly normal. Others, esp the tomatoes, have gone berserk. I have a cherry tomato plant about 7' tall and heading upwards. It'd be even taller but I don't have anything else to tie it to. There are so many tomatoes on it the branches are breaking out past where I can tie them. I have a roma tomato on another plant the size of my hand.
I assume it's the Azomite. I didn't do anything else differently. If you garden, give it a shot. I have about half of my bag left for next year. don't let it get wet or it turns into dense clay-like goo.

Re: Azomite
The corn (Golden Bantam) is about 8', but I've never grown that before so I don't know if that's odd or not. That won't be ripe for a couple of weeks or so.The Unflushable DEATHTURD wrote:What else has been growing more than normal?
Beans are Lazy Housewife and Trail of Tears, they're pumping out a side-dish worth of pods every day. Maybe a little up from usual.
Opium poppy, coca, Sensamilla and ayahuasca are about as productive as usual.
It's really the tomatoes that have gone nuts.

This is giving me very very good results. Of course , I have access to abundant charcoal but if you can source some , pulverise it and steep it with some natural fertiliser (bought or made) your soil will teem with goodness. The charcoal provides the soil bugs with somewhere to thrive , it doesn't break down and gives the soil a good loose structure.
They say Amazonian farmers could remain in situ if they slashed and charred instead of slashed and burned.
Food for thought.
