Greensand is formed over millions of years through the accumulation of marine sediment rich in the mineral glauconite. This greenish mineral forms as particles settle on the ocean floor, get compacted, and undergo a chemical process that turns them into greensand. The slow accumulation and transformation of these sediments ultimately result in the formation of greensand deposits.

Greensend rock does not exist. You are thinking of greensAnd rock - a sand or sediment having a dark greenish colour caused by the presence of glauconite. It can be fossil - rich.

Do you mean manganese? If so, a "greensand" filter might work - the cost was about $5000.00 around 10 years ago. It requires daily backwashing so you'd have to add the cost of the backwash water, if you're paying for it.

To remove manganese from well water, you can use a water treatment system like a water softener with a specialized manganese filter, aeration, oxidation filtration, or greensand filtration. It's best to test the water to determine the level of manganese present before selecting a treatment method. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the treatment system is essential to ensure efficient removal of manganese from the well water.

Green sand is a type of sand that has been mixed with clay and water to create a molding material used in foundries for casting metals. It gets its name from the greenish color it takes on due to the presence of water and organic material. Green sand is reusable and commonly used in the production of metal castings.

Arsenic can be removed from water using methods such as coagulation/filtration, adsorption with activated alumina or iron oxide, reverse osmosis, or ion exchange. It is important to test the water to determine the most appropriate method for removal based on the arsenic concentration and other water quality parameters. Consulting with a water treatment professional is recommended to ensure effective removal.

Potassium (chemical symbol 'K') is one of the three principle nutrients needed for healthy plants, including azaleas. [The other two nutrients being nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).]
Potassium occurs naturally in many soils, but if an azalea is suffering from potassium deficiency, a suitable azalea fertilizer containing N+P+K can often restore the necessary potassium balance.
Plants normally get K from potassium compounds in the soil. Azalea fertilizers containing N,P,K are used to encourage root spread, and for proper growth and development, but the percentages of N,P,K in the fertilizer can be varied to correct or supplement specific soil deficiencies.
One source of K is glauconite, a naturally occurring mineral found in greensand. The K compound in it is potassium silicate. Greensand also contains other trace elements important for plant health. This is why it is commonly used in fertilizers.
However, there are a number of potassium compounds and potassium-containing materials that plants can utilise for their potassium needs. All are water soluble and thus ideal for root or leaf absorption.
Potash fertilizers, for example, may contain one or more of the following suitable potassium compounds: potassium chloride; potassium magnesium sulfate; potassium nitrate; and potassium sulfate, all or any of which can readily be metabolised by azaleas and other plants. Manure is also a source of potassium for plants.
Regardless of the potassium source, the biggest danger is 'over-fertilizing', which will kill the plants. So it is important to undertake proper soil and plant analysis before administering potassium-based fertilizers to azaleas. Proper soil testing and correct identification of the signs of the plant's potassium deficiency will help to indicate or predict which NPK-mix percentage is best for your plants.
Then...
- carefully follow the dosage, method of application, and timing instructions
- monitor the results regularly; and
- make adjustments as necessary.
But remember, many soils are already rich in readily available potassium, so the application of potassium fertilizers may not be necessary, unless, of course, depletion of available potassium around the azalea has developed over the years. Soil tests from a number of places around the plant are therefore essential in revealing any potassium deficiencies and the extent to which this may be so.

The rubbery orange sludge is likely due to the presence of iron bacteria in the water, which can thrive in warm environments. To treat this issue, you can consider using a water softener or installing a chlorination system to disinfect the water and kill the bacteria. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the water tank is also important to prevent the buildup of sludge.

Organic fertilizers are animal manures or materials like alfalfa meal, feather meal, blood meal, fish meal, greensand, oyster shell flour, and other organic soil amendments. Organic fertilizers are either waste from farms, or byproducts of fishing, poultry, or cattle processing. Inorganic fertilizers are purely chemical, and are much more concentrated than organic fertilizers.
Organic fertilizers require the soil food web (soil organisms like bacteria, fungi, and protozoa) to break them down into the chemicals plants need to fuel the growth of roots, leaves, stems, flowers, and fruit. Because organic fertilizers need soil organisms to break them down, they release more slowly into the environment. They also tend to work best when the soil is warm than under cooler soil conditions, because soil organisms are more numerous and active when soil is warm.
Inorganic (chemical) fertilizers release very quickly into the soil, so they tend to produce a faster response in plants. They're also water-soluble, so they may flush through the soil and into waterways during heavy rains, polluting the water.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) occurs most commonly in the dryform of the disease. But 10% to 15% of cases start, or progress to, the more destructive wet stage in which abnormal blood vessels leak fluid or blood behind the eye. This fluid dries to form scars that disrupt your field of vision.Your central vision can be destroyed.
Research has found a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the eye. This VEGF protein causes new blood vessels to grow, which can extend the fluid damage and cause more loss of sight.
Treatments to inhibit the VEGF protein try to slow or disrupt the growth of new blood vessels in an attempt to minimize loss of vision.
How to protect your eyesight is important to everyone, not only people living with macular degeneration.
One choice that can help is to choose healthy food to eat.Fiber foods high in lutein and zeaxanthinstimulate antioxidant activity that reduces oxidative stress in the retina and lens of the eye.
Look for high fiber food as a source of zeaxanthin and lutein antioxidants: leafy greens with dark color like turnip greensand collard greens, kale, and spinach. Also include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, peas, and tomato sauce. For the highest amount of zeaxanthin choose orange peppers.
