If you’ve heard gardeners mention Azomite and wondered what the fuss is about, here’s the simple explanation because I like simple!
What is Azomite?
Azomite is a natural rock dust packed with over 70 trace minerals. It comes from ancient volcanic ash deposits and looks like a fine gray powder. You just mix it into your soil—and nature takes care of the rest.
Why Use It in Your Vegetable Garden?
Vegetables are heavy feeders. They pull nutrients out of the soil as they grow, and over time, that can leave your garden beds a little tired. Azomite helps replenish those missing trace minerals, giving your plants what they need to grow strong, healthy, and more productive. Healthier plants also tend to resist pests and disease better.
How Often Should You Use It?
You don’t need to go overboard—Azomite is slow and steady. Add it once a year in the spring or fall. Just sprinkle and mix it into the top few inches of soil. Follow the instructions on the bag for the right amount based on your space.
That’s it! No fancy formulas—just a simple way to give your garden a natural boost.
