Clearly if you are putting it on farmland, the farmer will demand the beneficial stuff and reject the harmful stuff.
There are lots of opportunities for harm, but plenty of material that would be beneficial, particularly for crops that like higher pH.
Olivine, e g., often has excess nickel, which you then would not use on farmland. You might dump that on beaches, instead. The main thing is to move a lot of it. You would prefer to use renewable electric to crush it, but the main thing is to get started.
- beachy 5y agoWhere I live, beaches are virtually sacred and certainly not the places to dump anything.
