How about this! Use wood ash from your wood burner or fire place. The Amish do this and have only 2% of the cancer that the general public has. Also rock dust will work wonders on your garden.

Unlike most of you fools on FR some of us do a little study on subjects. Also they don't eat the crap the general public eats. McD, BK, KFC, TB and G_D only knows what else. Add to this they don't drink pop and cheap beer or city water. Well isn't that special.
