Own a garden? Consider this simple plant watering experiment. Do you have a vegetable or herb garden? Explore the idea of using a clay colloid mineral supplement as a water additive to increase the health and yield of your garden. We did a very simple seven day controlled scientific experiment to demonstrate the profound, measureable effect of using a high quality complex clay colloid mineral as a soil supplement to increase the growth rate of organic wheatgrass.   Translate this page into your language: Website Visitor Details   Stumble Us!
