“he CLEARLY said “aluminum is up 5 time to ten times even what it was last year”
Yes he did... But he did not say one thing about “how much per ton or how many pounds per ton” or any of that. You invented those amounts all on your own.
No I used my brain to say, gee, if a typical soil sample is 5% aluminum, and he said his aluminum is up 5x-10x, in just the last year, that means it’s now 25%-50%. And if 5% means 5 pounds of aluminum per 100 pounds of soil then 50% means 50 pounds of aluminum per 100 pounds of soil.
And if you don’t understand that, then I’m sorry.
