I'm not saying the product does not work I'm just questioning some of the information. I do believe the whole virgin humate thing is just a bit of marketing hocus pocus.We have had people trying our product that are extremely skeptical.
Well...what is the common name for the material in this deposit?This rich humate ore deposit is in the hundreds of millions of tons.
Sounds like this is it (info from an eBay seller):
[FONT="]You are buying Twenty-five Pounds of Raw Virgin Humate from the Western U.S. This Humate is the best kind for potted plants because it comes from an ancient Humic Shale deposit that contains Humic material that has never turned to coal. This is not re-oxidized coal. It does not even look the same! I personally inspect this product and frequently visit the mining area to assure quality. Before crushing, I often find bits and pieces of ancient fossilized reeds and leaf material within the humic layers. Our Humate is literally like haveing a 65 million year old compost with nothing left but the best nutrients and amendments for your soil preserved from the beginning of time!! The host sediment is a bentonite clay that is also very benificial for moisture and nutrient holding capacity. [/FONT]
