12 Oz. of Azomite - Organic Trace Mineral Soil Additive Fertilizer - 67 Trace Minerals: Garden/Gardening Soil Amendment

I'm putting a little in my pots to add a few minerals, but I imagine it alters the ph which certain plants are finicky about. I'm not going to send my soils off for testing afterwards but it was recommended by the extension master gardener. This is AI's response: Your Extension Master Gardener gave you great advice. You don't need to stress about Azomite throwing your pots' pH out of whack. While the raw rock dust itself is mildly alkaline (usually sitting at a pH around 8.0), extensive testing shows that adding Azomite does not significantly alter soil or potting mix pH. Because it is a highly insoluble volcanic ash deposit, it breaks down incredibly slowly through microbial activity and weak root acids. It acts as a gentle baseline stabilizer rather than a sharp chemical adjuster.  Here is what you need to know for your product review: How It Functions in Potting Mixes The "A to Z" Trace Mineral Boost: Bagged potting mixes are usually made of peat, coir, or pine bark, which are deliberately lightweight but naturally low in micronutrient diversity. Azomite introduces over 70 trace elements (like silicon, calcium, magnesium, and iron) that help plants run their internal chemistry smoothly.  Safe for Finicky, Acid-Loving Plants: Because it doesn't cause a rapid shift in pH, you can safely use it on finicky, acid-loving container plants (like blueberries, azaleas, or ferns) without worrying about locking out nutrients.  Subtle, Slow-Release Effects: It won't give you an "overnight green-up" like a high-nitrogen liquid fertilizer. Instead, it works in the background to support root development, enzyme function, and long-term pest and disease resilience.
