Is this chemically inert meaning contains no nutrients for plants. Could I use this Flourite alone for my plants to survive?

There is supposed to be nutrients. I planted a variety of plants that are just out of control in my tank. I uprooted several plants about a week later and found many of the roots on plants well over 10" long (They were appx. 2"-3" when planted).

Well,chemically speaking, the term ( inert) is to make reference to substances that dont have a chemial reaction in presence of others.Yes, definitely, this will help your plants in the growing process.

This material disintegrates naturally. You just plant the fiber cup as is;) It does not impede the roots...

Yes, the water is safer without phosphates. Phosphates are basically fertilizer (that's what feeds the algae). Phosfree is harmless.

It's very safe for tomato and other plants. Unlike fertilizers, it will not "burn" or kill then plant when used as instructed.

It is only for adjusting the PH, if your plants have been doing good on tap water, I say they dont need it. Look at plant food to feed them- miraclegro or something.

NO. Not unless you want to burn up your plants. This is a way high nitrogen product intended to facilitate the breakdown of carbonaceous matter.

Yes you are....Just take out the Flourite and throw it away....Buy Eco-Complete....

Inert ingredients are a trade secret and are rarely if ever listed. The only thing listed as an inactive ingredient in the insert is petroleum distillate. You may want to contact the company for a more detailed list.

This is food grade diatomaceous earth so in general "food grade diatomaceous earth is 84% silica, and contains some 20 trace minerals." I shipped this to a friend for use on her pets and in her house to control / eliminate fleas and other pests. I know folks who take this internally too with no apparent ill effects and swear by it although I am not doing that myself so do not have a valid opinion about that. I am wondering how you intend to use it. I got a much larger container because I use it as a barrier to eliminate ants, spiders, and other pets in the house along with including small amounts in my pets food and rubbing a small amount into their coats and even some in the litter box to help keep it dry. It is the only thing I will use in the vegetable garden. Just do NOT confuse this with industrial grade which IS toxic. This is FOOD GRADE.

I am not 100% sure but the composition is earth friendly and it may be better than some with harsh phosphates. I regard it as Eco friendly

I'm not sure if one should take someones word concerning : natural vs. chemical. I looked it up and found their web page: foreverflorals.com/about-us also they have other items you may be inerested in.

Yes. Silica is great for outdoor or indoor plants. It helps with stress and cellular repair. It's a great product for any plant. Good growing :D

This product is pointless with any non organic fertilizer! The main purpose of Rock Dust" is for a place microbes to attach, to help break down the soil and give plants more nutrients or specific things. If you are growing with non organic fertilizers this really is a waste of your money do to the fact that they kill most if not all of your microbes..

I use it when transplanting, applying the mycorrhizae granules directly onto the exposed roots. I do use compost, but do not use nitrogen fertilizer at that time. My understanding is that extra nitrogen tends to inhibit the nitrogen fixing function of the mycorrhizae. Once the plant is established with its own population of mycorrhizae inhabiting the roots I suppose that one could supplement with fertilizer as needed.

To be honest I am not sure, but I looked the word up in my dictionary and it states the following: The chief substance in the cell walls of plants used in making paper, textiles etc. So from this I am taking it that it is ok to eat and it may be what holds the cookie together. I hope this helps! Blessings to you!

Azomite isn't really a fertilizer. It's mainly the micronutrients and trace minerals used to uptake macronutrients, like NPK. Here is the breakdown according to the Azomite website, click on the URL. http://www.azomite.com/resources/coa.pdf

I never have used it for that plant, but I would think it would be a wonderful fertilizer for any plant. I use it for everything else. It's my favorite (besides the horse manure of course).
