Adding Trace Minerals To Your Aerogarden
66Concentrated Ocean Minerals???
To answer your question about how to add the full spectrum of minerals to your aerogarden. I highly recommend you use concentrated ocean minerals as the source of nutrition for the plants you are growing in your kitchen garden.
The first question you are probably thinking at this point is "what about the salinity in the ocean water?" Very good question...when ocean water is concentrated, about 30% of ocean water is water...when only that is removed, what you have left are all 90 elements from the elemental chart in the exact same order and proportion as nature intended, Including the naturally occurring sodium in the periodical chart. What you want to make sure is that when you are diluting the concentrated minerals, you dilute to a minimum of 100:1 or 1 ounce of minerals to 1 gallon of water. A little bit truly goes a long way.
Are you growing tomatoes? Let's take those as an example, by nature and genetic permission, tomatoes have 56 of the 90 elements...today, grocery store tomatoes average about 16 of those natural elements and mostly NPK or nitrogen, potassium and phosphate from a petroluem based chemical fertilizer....best-practice organic measures you might average in the low 30's, but with no chemical additives...with ocean minerals the plant now has all 56 of it's genetically required minerals available for its uptake and absolutely no chemical additives! So the tomatoes you are growing are vibrant, when you bite into a tomato fed ocean minerals, you can taste the difference immediately! In fact, you will smell the wholesomness of the tomato if you slice it first. Aaahhh, now THIS is a tomotoe the way God and nature intended it to be.
Another added benefit of ocean minerals as a plant nutrient is now the lycopene in tomatoes is truly a powerhouse and all of the cancer fighting properties of lycopene are fully charged and ready to help your DNA in its natural fight agains free radicals and cancer cells!
I hope this answers your question as to how to grow more nutrient dense foods at home!

Karen, thank you for this hub. It contains good and useful information I did not know of till now. It will definitely help me grow better tomatoes!
You are so very welcome, my friend!!! I look forward to more discussions on this subject!
Hello Karen, thanks for this hub, I now see people with the same interest in minerals as I do. Yes, plants do get a lot more nutrition from a little sea water mized with ordinary water. I'll try that when I get a bigger lot to plant things on. But I've already gone further. I use concetrated trace minerals, taken from the water of the Great Salt Lake and processed to remove most of the sodium chloride, mixed with my water! But you wont read that yet in my hub, you'll read only some intro posts about the power of trace minerals - whether from the ocean, or from such an inland sea at the Great Salt Lake. Check me out. And thanks again for your hub.

great hub page, I will definitely look into this further. So you are saying that what we get in the supermarket is drastically depleted?
