Talk:Greensand

message: seems kind of limited to the UK here....there are well known deposits in New Jersey of U.S. as well as Arkansas and a few other states but what is really missing from the article is greensand's popularity as a fertilizer and soil amendment here in the U.S. at least and i would guess worldwide as well...great source of trace minerals and slow-acting potassium...it currently sells for about $35-$40 in 50 lb. bags so it has some economic value... :) 66.87.4.28 (talk) 22:35, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Google will show that greensand soil amendment is sold the same in the New World as it is in France & the UK. [If it seems otherwise, perhaps we could learn much from considering how that is: Mega-corporate capital, its wholly-owned media, politicians, etc. today consistently fail to support independent freedom movements- such as small-scale natural farming, local control of co-operatives, or local governance of labor markets. Instead we see a broad agenda of alienating & mis-educating "average people" while suppressing "anarchic" localized development models- all in favor of the New World Order pyramid.] Hilarleo Hey,L.E.O. 05:24, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Not being a water-worker, I cant parse this line: 
"Greensand coated with manganese oxide, known as manganese greensand, is used in well water treatment systems to remove dissolved (reduced) iron and manganese with the addition of an oxidant, usually potassium permanganate, under controlled pH conditions."
Did you all get that far? Does this entire self-referential sentence refer to efforts to reduce dissolved iron? Or is it a problem of dissolved iron and manganese, and/or potassium.... ? Which compounds are problematic, and which are proposed solutions here? Unless this complication can be clarified, it needs to go. This syntax makes an already-confused* article obtuse (*per above discussion of LiamE & Dieter concerning the indiscriminate jumbling of senses- of generic geologic "greensand" formations versus commercial "greensand" glauconites).Hilarleo Hey,L.E.O. 05:33, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
