I visited the website. I thought the stuff sounded familiar. The wheatgrass folks sure make it sound like God's gift to gardeners. But it's really just bentonite.
I searched some more & found the chemical analysis. I clipped this from sombodies website without permission & will probably swing for it. LOL

i used it in 2002. wether or not it had a direct effect, i can't say because of all the other ingredients i mixed into each spot, but the two spots that i used it on grew my 2 biggest pumpkins this year (917 and 610). oh yeah, and i also gave some to tim bailey and he got a new personal best too.
