Paramagnetic Soil Amendments. Big List

Paramagnetic Soil Amendments: Include at least one in your soil if it’s not active.

Basalt Rock Dust: Iron, magnesium dominate. Enhances soil structure, nutrient availability. Supports microbial activity. High iron (~7,200 cgs) ensures top rank.

Andesite Rock Dust: Silica, iron abound. Boosts microbial life, soil fertility. Improves plant growth. Up to 10,090 cgs places it near basalt.

Scoria Rock Dust: Iron, porosity define. Increases aeration, nutrient retention. Reduces pest issues. ~2,500 cgs (cinderite) ranks it high.

Greenstone: Iron, mixed minerals compose. Elevates soil magnetism, fertility. Promotes robust growth. 5,000–9,000 cgs aligns with volcanic rocks.

Lava Sand: Iron, volcanic minerals enrich. Enhances nutrient uptake, soil health. Supports plant vigor. Likely basalt/scoria, high paramagnetism.

Greensand: Glauconite, iron prevail. Supplies potassium, improves water retention. Strengthens soil structure. Iron-rich glauconite ensures strong magnetism.

Dyna-min: Iron, trace minerals constitute. Enriches soil, boosts magnetism. Aids plant development. Volcanic, assumed high like basalt.

Carbonatite: Iron, carbonates form. Delivers phosphorus, enhances magnetism. Supports root growth. Magnetite potential ranks it strongly.

Volcanic Ash: Iron, fine particles characterize. Improves fertility, disease resistance. Increases nutrient availability. High iron, slightly less processed.

Blood Meal: Hemoglobin, iron provide. Supplies nitrogen, boosts magnetism. Enhances plant growth. Organic iron ranks it moderately.

Granite Rock Dust: Biotite, trace iron contain. Adds trace minerals, supports fertility. Improves soil texture. 200–2,000 µCGS, less than volcanic rocks.

Azomite: Trace minerals, iron include. Enhances nutrient uptake, soil health. Promotes plant vigor. Lower paramagnetism per sources.

Glacial Rock Dust: Iron, calcium vary. Remineralizes soil, boosts fertility. Supports plant health. Variable iron lowers rank.

Vermiculite: Trace iron, silicates compose. Improves aeration, water retention. Enhances soil structure. Weak iron content.

Bentonite: Montmorillonite, iron trace. Increases water retention, nutrient exchange. Stabilizes soil structure. Weak, like montmorillonite.

Montmorillonite: Iron, clay layers form. Boosts cation exchange, water retention. Supports soil fertility. ~2.85 micro cgs, very weak.

Leonardite: Humic acids, trace iron hold. Improves nutrient uptake, soil structure. Enhances microbial activity. Variable iron, weak.

Other Clay Minerals (e.g., illite, kaolinite): Trace iron, silicates vary. Enhance nutrient retention, soil stability. Support plant growth. Minimal, inconsistent iron.
