My name is Michelle and my husband Darrell and I have recently opened a very small studio in the town of Cooran. We have 360 mail boxes in our district, so we are regional Queensland. My passion for collecting botanical chinaware for many years grew into a love of growing herbs. Now my passion is my career however we have had to open our store a little earlier than anticipated and I am still learning about the basics. I am very keen to learn how to remineralize the soil used to grow herbs in. I have recently read a book concerning the benefits of Magnesium. I want to learn about good natural soil. I am not even a beginner really, as many of my customers are far more knowledgable than I, but I have to start somewhere. Slow steps would be appreciated: Thank you

Hello and welcome Michelle.
Nice place Cooran.as far as remineralising goes there is two prevalent trains of thought around here. - One that you chuck organic matter at it till it comes good. - Two that you get a soil test done and amend the soil acordingly.Personally I take a little from both camps.Here is some links from my trusted sources hope you find them useful.
