        My original question was "Does anyone know what the ratio of Na ( 
Sodium
), Calcium and sulfer should be for pot.
        My original context was about making organic fertilizer and the topic 
shifted to soil so I went that direction. :)
        The Aluminum thread is an offshoot of my original post.  
        Both L P and yourself offered interesting opinions and I attempted to 
focus the topic onto Soil Structure.
        I know the difference between a soil component and soil Structure.

So to hell with Aluminum but it is something to consider if you have problems 
growing.
