Note:
I forgot to mention that I am currently using a microbial soil activator
called "Restore," made by Agrestore. So far I have made one application of
all my fields this past March.
Also, I forgot to mention that I am looking for mined Gypsum, not the
same Gypsum that is an industrial by-product (mostly from the
drywall/fiberboard industry I think). Since my farm is certified organic,
we are not allowed to use anything other than pure mineral Gypsum, because
of the glues and other possible toxins in the residue.
Thanks for all the responses so far, Troy
