What do you want to use it for? This is interesting as I work for a company that mines leonardite and it has a lot of applications, but not too many have heard of it

So, basically using it as a base for some ion absorption and possibly for its humic acid content?

Here is a 50lb bag of granular:
L-85 is granular raw Leonardite that contains a minimum of 85% humic acids
