GSR Calcium is Processed to Dramatically Improve Soil Structure

For any grower interested in achieving a healthy & organic crop, the full video of Glen's conversation with Jon Justenson and Joe Harp is a must watch - particularly for any grower with walnut orchards in compacted soil high in magnesium.

[@ThePumpkinClub]

Great explanation

[@thecsslife]

Chemistry has left the chat.

[@andrew-if4ts]

did he say Ca wants to grab onto Na and Mg?

[@mikebar42]

Yes

[@coltonholden3924]

This guy needs a chemistry lesson.

[@old-schoolj1405]

I'm pretty sure his other job is selling equipment 😅

[@wewantmoreboomboom8313]

It can group woth those things with anions like oxygen which would sit between the metals. Although It wont "want to" grab onto that stuff if theres water.

[@thehuntfortruth]

Yeah. Is it fake and dumb?

[@silverhills5684]

Why not use powdered eggshells ??
They are calcium carbonate, Plus, they have other minerals that will enrich the soil.

[@stevengonzalez7729]

Bet an Electro culture atmospheric antenna would help the electrical charge if the crops need a little boost

[@prophecyrat2965]

I bet an Ecosystem would help it too😂

[@thehuntfortruth]

This is hippy dippy nonsense

[@StevenCampbell1955]

And an alfoil tin hat on each tree?

[@Gaurav.M.]

Any such thing available in the market?

@SoilWorksLLC is there a way you take our hard water and do something useful with it?

[@thehuntfortruth]

So tums are better soil amendments than gypsum?

[@robertmedina3282]

I never thought about the electro-function of soils before. I suppose in the same way I need electrolytes, my plants need that too.

[@marknice7337]

So could this be used to charge bio-char

[@lifeunderthemic]

You're almost there. Missing a few key ingredients. Julius Hensel's book BREAD FROM STONES.
You either do it right or it's just guess work.

[@recruiter8323]

What ingredients? I’m truly curious.

Where can i buy this product i live in Sweden

[@gracegwozdz8185]

Limestone is in every garden nursery in Canada. You must have them in Sweden?

[@waynes.2983]

Dolomite lime works well also.

[@bitTorrenter]

And you get magnesium as well.

[@williamevans6522]

A heavy soil( lots of clay) usually has an excess of Mg.
Adding more will just make the soil tighter.

[@elevated_cultivations]

@@williamevans6522this is why clay soils need gypsum and organic matter with a strong cover crop rotation

[@DaveE99]

So egg shells= calcium carbonate

[@TMacDo243]

Cant belive I believed this guy at first. The more videos I see the more full of crap he is. Never seen someone so right and so wrong at the same time.

[@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We understand that agricultural science and practices can be complex and sometimes contentious topics. Our goal is to provide information and solutions that have worked for many farmers, as demonstrated on our research farm where we test and validate our products and methods. We encourage you to keep questioning and exploring different perspectives.

[@TMacDo243]

@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium I have a bachelor's degree in agronomy lol thanks though

[@derrickpayton7774]

How can I add calcium to my garden without buying an expensive product?

[@plantguy902]

Compost dandelions before going to seed. Compost egg shells.

[@PerennialGrowth]

Check out water soluble calcium recipes based on eggshells

[@evoliveoil]

@@PerennialGrowth How do we know how much is needed?

[@PerennialGrowth]

@@evoliveoil you would have to get soil or plant test to see but these are generally applied in parts of the crop cycle where demand for calcium is high. There are dilution ratios available for most preparations. These are usually 1:1000 if I remember correctly.

[@prophecyrat2965]

Grow weeds

[@huntera123]

While I admire his energy, and while he may be correct in the sense that his soil management may yield good results, his chemistry is so wrong as to discredit him.

[@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium]

While Glen’s approach might seem unconventional, many growers have seen positive results with our methods. We’re always open to discussing and improving our practices based on constructive input. If you have specific chemistry concerns, we’d love to hear more and address them.

[@raptorfeet]

Are you adding lime (CaO) or calcium carbonate (CaCO3) - this is where you are confusing people. Does your process turn limestone into lime? I have no idea what your product is or does.

[@wilecatrexy]

One thing I do see is a lot of bare soil.

[@TheRooflesstoofless]

Calcium doesn’t bond with magnesium. And by “salt” I assume you mean sodium? Calcium doesn’t bond with sodium either. Did I misunderstand?

[@hortihorteae]

Calcium is Ca2+ and it will lock only with negative charge. 😂

[@paaabl0.]

Is there any scientific base for those claims? A lot of anthropomorphisms "it wants this, it wants that".

[@allisonangier1631]

He looks so untrustworthy. Lots of gesturing, not much information in all the words and scenery chewing.

[@notoglobalism3754]

I like his science better than the "science" from the "scientists' forced on top of humanity!

[@StevenCampbell1955]

Hydrated lime would be cheaper and dolomite would do the same job, but you do you and chemistry doesn't apply in any field near you.

[@TheLivingoodLife]

Milk works too. You don’t need his products.

[@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium]

While milk can provide some benefits for small gardeners, it’s really not practical or economical for larger agricultural operations, especially the large orchards that many of our growers are managing. GSR Calcium is specifically formulated (grams per acre) to address soil health issues efficiently and effectively, making it a more viable option for small, medium & large-scale growers. For what it’s worth, the GSR Calcium can work wonders for small gardeners, too! Cheers!

Load of crap

It's a gross oversimplification of a complex process to help someone wildly ignorant begin to understand the principles.
You have a lot of reading to do.

Agree. I'm a chemist and he is 100% talking nonsense. So many things wrong and 90% of what he's saying is completely made up on the spot.
