TESTIMONIALS
Commercial & Specialty Crops
Potato Farm, Klamath Falls, OR
Farm Manager: After two days of using Mineral Max AG, we noticed an immediate and favorable sign in the petiole test results of the plant. We ordered another 3,000 gallons of Mineral Max AG to continue with the applications.
Basil— Flower— Vegetable Farm
Clay & Tex, Fresh Green Organic Farm, Klamath Falls, Oregon: Mineral Max AG is a great all-around fertilizer. We use it for vegetables, flowers, seedlings, pots, and beds. We apply it in-ground and foliar. It’s like a one-stop-shop kind of fertilizer. That’s what we all want; it’s a good thing to have in your program. Mineral Max AG is a good additive because it doesn’t have a lot of nitrogen in it; you don’t burn your plants.
We give Mineral Max AG to our little pots where the plants are de-leafing a bit and are turning yellow; they come back with a vengeance. Mineral Max AG kicks the yellowing right out and gives us thicker leaves. When we transplant our plants, Mineral Max AG helps the plants get through the initial transplant shock.

Pablo, Capulin Nursery, Watsonville, CA: “We are using Mineral Max AG concentrate in our 50-gallon nutrient feeders. We use about 1/2 gallon per 50 gallons.

Delmar & Carin, Blossom’s Farm, Aromas, CA: “I use 3 watering methods at Blossom’s Farm. For my starts, I do foliar spraying. We use general fertigation with a 50-gallon drum filled with water and 1/2 gallon of Mineral MAX AG to irrigate. We fertigate now and then, but will be doing more of it over the fall and winter. The third method that we use on certain plants is a drench to give plants a good submersion so that they get embedded with nutrients. Our farm grows a variety of vegetables, and we also have some fruit trees. Carin is the apothecary; she makes topical and herbal extracts.”

Jarad, Borba Family Farms, Aromas, CA: “I used Mineral MAX AG on my pepper and tomato starts, and on the tomato plants during their early growth. I am pleased with the results that I have seen so far. I plan on using Mineral Max AG on my avocado starts and fig trees.”

Timber Hill Farms, Sebastopol, CA
Karen, Timber Hill Farms, Sebastopol, CA: “I am amazed at the growth of my plants and how vibrant they are since I started using Mineral Max AG. I was away for 3 months and had caretakers look after the farm; everything looked great when I returned. The cabbages were huge! The caretakers and I agree that my plants have never looked better, and I have been farming and gardening since 1988.

Pepper Varieties, Santa Cruz Mountains
Kyle M, Los Gatos, CA: I am a gardener and hot pepper enthusiast. I grow hot and mild peppers, and I make and sell hot sauce with a friend of mine. The peppers in the top row are from left to right: Poblano, Ancho, Hungarian Hot Wax Pepper, Green Serrano, Red Serrano, Cayenne, Ghost Pepper, Red Habanero, and Scotch Bonnet peppers. The orange peppers in the photo on the bottom left are a pepper variety that I grew last year called Devil Tongues; they have a very unique flavor profile that is tropical, almost citrusy, and fruity. These are a very potent level of heat (aka Capsaicin), so potent that they are very fragrant. I was very excited to grow these peppers because I had never heard of them before. The peppers in the photo on the bottom right are the Tabasco peppers, very small peppers that pack a huge punch as well, and should not be underestimated.
I had excellent results with the Mineral Max AG nutrients. I highly recommend utilizing these plant nutrients!

Habanero Peppers
David: I own a start-up brand of hot sauces, and I am always searching for ways to enhance the size and potency of my pepper crops. The peppers in my hand are the peppers that I grew before. Now, after two applications of Mineral Max AG, the habaneros are as large as my thumbs and are twice as hot! The difference in the yield is unlike anything that I have ever experienced.
Santa Fe College, New Mexico
Santa Fe Community College, New Mexico: Santa Fe Community College and the Los Alamos Lab set up an experiment with Mineral Max AG, Blue Green Algae & other green concentrates in a hydroponic setting. Neither Los Alamos Lab nor the College ever finalized the project. They did not do the lab work to verify the analysis. Although there were no published findings from this project, the trial shows potential, and the results were impressive, nevertheless.
Tobacco
Tobacco Farmer: Mineral Max AG Nutrient Biostimulant was used in a comparison test on tobacco crops. There was a control group and a test group that were farmed identically. The only exception was that the plants in the test group were fertilized with Mineral Max AG. The plants in the control group were not. The photo above shows the results. The plants in the test group that were fed Mineral Max AG grew larger and more robust than the control group plants.
Additional Testimonials
“I am teaching a 16-week permaculture class at Cabrillo College in Aptos. I am using Mineral MAX AG in trial plots in my class. Mineral MAX AG has received a favorable response from my class. There is a chance that we may use Mineral MAX AG for the Garden Project.”
—Ken F, Santa Cruz, CA
“We have 2 raised beds of boy choy. We fed one bed with Mineral MAX AG and withheld it from the other bed. The crops in the bed that was given Mineral MAX AG grew twice as big as the crops in the other bed. Both beds of crops are doing well, but there is quite a difference!”
—Kevin, Rodini Farms, Davenport, CA
“We are using Mineral MAX AG on our ferns and have seen a nice improvement.”
—Armand & Antonio, Pacific Rim Plant Nursery, Watsonville, CA
“I was pleasantly surprised by the results I saw with Mineral MAX AG in my orchard. My blueberries were more robust and plumper than ever! The 1-year-old Blenheim apricot tree bore fruit, as did the 1-year-old nectarine tree, a pleasant surprise! I had not expected fruit from these trees until the third or fourth year. My plum trees, which had not borne fruit for 3 years, were loaded with fruit this year! My pear tree also had not borne fruit in 2 years, but this year it is also full of fruit. I did water more than usual this year, but the Mineral MAX AG made the difference.”
—Doug P, Zayante, CA
“To feed the crops on my farm, I am using a mixture of Kelp, Fish emulsion, an herbal tea fermentation, and Mineral MAX AG. Every year, I make a 250-gallon batch that lasts for the year. I do a foliar spray of the whole property (avocados, citrus, guava, and many other plants) with a firehose. I can dispense 20 gallons per minute. All my plants are healthy and are growing rapidly.”
—Vince P, Corralitos, CA
