Thank you all for sharing the knowledge! Great stuff in here.
I wanted to share a drink i started to take 2 times a day. All organic. I mix up 3 tbs of vanilla probiotic yogurt, a bit of aloe juice that has honey added to it and some coconut water.
Has anyone used the 200X powder in a drink like this? I was thinking of using it becasue that aloe juice is frigging expensive.

More likely than not you've probably purchased an aloe vera product that was made using re-hydrated powder. That information would not have to appear on the label.
Look for the freeze-dried powders out of Australia - many are certified organic (legitimate certification vs. OMRI, et al) which will give you a gallon for < $6.50

That's the usual price in PDX as well. The Agsil 16H is a much better deal and since you're mixing in small batches like say a pint or so you have more quality control vs. buying a 1 gallon jug made from a 1,000 gallon batch - probably a larger one than that since that's only about 20 barrels rolling out of China.

I've been adding 1/4 tsp or so, per serving, of the 200x organic freeze dried aloe powder to any smoothies/shakes I make - I've also noticed more and more in commercially available aloe drinks they are listing 'aloe powder' on the ingredients.
Thanks CC
I bought mine from ingredients to die for. Is this ok for the garden and not so much for my own consumption? I'll order some of the freeze dried for my shakes if that is the case.
That's where I bought mine, i.e. Ingredients to Die For - great pricing & service. This is a freeze-dried version.
The reason I bought it from Essentials this time around is that it's local so there's no S&H charges and it's a 10 minute car ride to their warehouse.

The aloe juice drink i bought that has honey added also has aloe pulp in it. I took a drink of it straight out of the bottle and it tastes delicious.
So I'm good then i have the stuff from Australia? Just don't want to add it to a shake if its not for human consumption.
The powder from IDF is human food grade as well as pharmaceutical-grade.
IOW, as good as it gets as far as powered versions. Some powders you find at eBay are spray-dried versions out of Mexico and cost about the same as the superior freeze-dried powders from Australia.

Unless you're that crafty Surfbiter. That guy's paying pennies on the dollar for a product that never leaves his island---Aa and pahoehoe.

A gentleman never tells.
Finally made it through the old ROLS. 25 pages or so into the new ROLS and I said 'touche'. Time to dive a little deeper...
into soil porn.
Now soil porn is a strange business. The only one I know that starts undressed and finishes top dressed.
Many pictures and thoughts ahead, so if you are not a visual learner, feel free to scroll quickly through the many posts resulting from a 5 picture limit.
And I do mean a lot of pictures, so again apologies to those more inspired by word.
And for those of you truly into the soil porn, grab your favorite organic lotion...(mine smells of hyssop).

And I will tease you with a few shots as I rest my back for yon night.
A mix of old and new soil meets recycle.
There I've added an old specimen to the mix. A bit dry, most of the spent soil was more moist.
You see what I mean by dry.
I still mix it in just right. I'm guessing this mix is about 60% recycled.
All you radio listeners, this concludes tonight's broadcast. As a good peep show host, I bid you adieu until the next quarter is played.

The reason that I switched to basalt came about from a seminar on mineralization that I attended last winter in PDX. The US Geological Service (USGS) sent a couple of speakers and there were representatives from Cascade Minerals (basalt), Azomite, Gaia Green (glacial rock dust), et al. Everyone was given a chance to 'barf on the table' to promote their respective products & opinions.
As things turned out it was a good switch for me.
YMMV
