Volcanic soil

So my friend has pointed out a place I can gather volcanic soil. I believe it is called loess, but it's all Greek to me. Super nutritious and full of minerals as I guess Idaho is on a bathalith (or is one, rocks isn't my forte). I know it's amazing for veggies, but was curious if anyone has used it for cacti or other entheogenic plants. I plan on experimenting with a few plants I have (seedlings) but am curious if anyone has experience.

I'm sure there's a few, plenty of sandstone as well. I'll ask my buddy where they'd be and can get ya some if need be.

Oh sweet, what percentage do you mix it in?

I do it by eye, sorry. Mix perlite until coir until it looks right, then mix in screened limestone soil until that looks right. That's how I do it. I'm sure there's recipes out there.

I'll have to do that! Right now I've got some seedlings in MG cactus soil with extra perlite, and coir and perlite, and some MG with sand, gravel, and perlite, but it has become super dense so it'll be getting ammended with the black soil once I gather it.

Coir/perlite/limestone is incredibly airy, it's amazing stuff.
