moringa is high in trace mineral content and many other nutrients. it is considered a super food as a healthy nutritional supplement. I wondered, well...... why not throw some into some organic soil and let the microherd chelate away and see how the cannabis plants do.

All About Moringa: The Uber Nutritious Superfood That Could Combat Malnutrition
Moringa leaves are highly nutritious and are rich in vitamins K, A, C, B6,Manganese, Magnesium, Riboflavin, Calcium, Thiamin, Potassium, Iron, Protein and Niacin. Unlike traditional multivitamins, the nutrients found in moringa are readily absorbed into the body, providing an abundance of naturally occurring nutrients.
Moringa also contains all 8 essential amino acids making it one of the few plants that provide a complete protein source.
It is rich in flavonoids, including Quercetin, Kaempferol, Beta-Sitosterol, Caffeoylquinic acid and Zeatin.
Zeatin contains powerful anti-aging properties. No plant has a greater abundance of zeatin than the moringa plant. In fact, moringa has ……several thousand times more zeatin than any other known plan!

The results obtained showed that all rates of the manure reduced the soil pH within 30 days after incorporation in both years and locations. At 60 days after application, and up to 140 days after incorporation, all manure rates increased the pH in both locations and years. The control, however, showed a steady pH decrease up to 140 days after incorporation. All manural rates significantly (P<0.05) increased the yield of the garden egg varieties over the control.
