 +===== Boosting soil fertility with minerals =====
  
 +I found the [[http://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/homeandgardens/boost-your-soils-fertility-with-these-scientific-methods-364880.html| following table in this article in the]] //Irish Examiner//.
 +
 +{{ :garden:cultivate:tasks:remineralization:plantnutrients.jpg?600 |Minerals use and evidence of deficiency}}
 +
 +I notice that many deficiencies manifest as yellowed or sickly-looking leaves. I was so pleased with the results of remineralization for the 2015 season - leaves of all the plants had good color and appeared very healthy. 
 +
 +I disagree with much of the other information in the article, which is why I copied the table. And I prefer to use actual minerals rather than substitutes such as beer, cocoa powder, beer and grape juice. And the suggestions for applying manure directly to the garden soil truly sucks.
 +
 +Chlorine and nickel are not included in the soil analyses I get, so they aren't relevant to my mineral amendments.
