Its actually harvested from West Texas and is one of the things they use as "drilling mud" to shoot down the shaft to cool the "drilling" head when drilling for oil. (I know this because I have a master's degree in Geology). I use it too; but not for that purpose. These ammendments I only use in containers because I use a professional grow mix that is sterile. I don't need them in general gardening soil--my soil started much like yours but on the heavy alkaline clay side to begin with.

Another thing I use is:

You have to realize I get really good prices on this stuff because I buy wholesale not retail.

This guy STILL looks good 3 days later--that's pretty unusual for a rain lily--usually look good for 2 days, max.
