I recently had to restock my bucket of greensand and I noticed that the epsoma brand of greensand was 0-0-.3 and the jersey greensand was 0-0-3. The jersey greensand was about 4 times as expensive. Whats the deal is the higher k worth the exspence. I use Kelp anyway and maxi crop in my teas. Thanks for any input

I wouldn't

Greensand or Green sand is either a sand or sandstone, which has a greenish color. This term is specifically applied to shallow marine sediment, that contains noticeable quantities of rounded greenish grains.

These grains are called glauconies and consist of a mixture of mixed-layer clay minerals, such as smectite and glauconite mica. Greensand is also loosely applied to any glauconitic sediment.

It's a marine deposit - just like Dolomite Lime, Limestone, Calcite Lime, Oyster Shell Powder.

You wouldn't pay $50.00 for a bag of Limestone when the normal price is $8.00 would you? Just for a label?

Your call.......

Yeah well there is that but sometimes the concept/orientation of 'small steps' is most helpful.

That the one with 0-0-.3 probably has a lot of filler.
The one with 0-0-3 probably is all green sand with no filler.
So that is what you are paying for!
I hope that helps! :)
