Try our personalized soil mineral program to let your soil work for you to have better yield, soil health, disease, and pest resistance.
Why apply Redmond Salt?
- Ability to transfer an electrical charge(energy) to the life in the soil (Electrical Conductivity, (EC).
- Provides 60+ minerals in a crystalline, highly available form which will move into the cells of a plant resulting in optimum quality.
- This perfect balance of minerals from nature contains 57% sodium, 36%chloride, and 7% other major, secondary, micro, and rare earth minerals.
- Improved taste or palatability of a plant
- Sodium and chloride are essential for photosynthesis and nitrogen and manganese utilization in a plant.
- Uniquely, Redmond Salt’s minerals and salinity levels are nearly identical to the proportions you’d find in the blood of healthy livestock. We like to describe this ratio as mother nature’s formula for ideal plant, animal, and human health.
Why apply Volcanic Ash Clay Conditioner?
- Increases the soil’s ability to store and release minerals and water (Cation Exchange Capacity – CEC)
- Delivers the highly available colloidal form of 5% available calcium, 15% available silicon, and nature’s perfect balance of 60+ other available major, secondary, micro, and rare earth nutrients
- Provides a protected habitat for rhizobia bacteria which form root nodules and create nitrogen for legume plants
- Increases the amount of enzyme activity in the soil which improves residue decomposition and mineral availability
A foliar application can complement the dry application and is beneficial to apply during times of mineral deficiencies due to stresses such as drought conditions or too much rain.
Foliar Rates for Large Areas
- Redmond Salt – 3 to 5 lbs/acre applied up to 4 times during a growing season. Stir into the water the day before application. Take the liquid off the top and leave the sediment behind so it doesn’t plug into the spray system.
- Redmond Conditioner – 6 to 10 lbs/acre repeated up to 4 times during the growing season. Stir and let it sit the day before the application. Take liquid off the top same as the salt. This will have a lot of sediment. The sediment of both products can be spread over the soil.
Foliar Rates for Small Areas
- Redmond Salt – 1 teaspoon dissolved in 1 gallon of water for every 250 square feet. Prepare this solution the same as stated above.
- Redmond Conditioner – 2 teaspoons for every 250 square feet. Prepare the same as above.
