      Our soil is all clay, aluminum is one of the biggest components of clay, so I'm not sure I understand the question.

        I think all soil has lots of aluminum. But it’s locked up at higher PH. If you have very acidic soil it can be problem but on my swamp alakali acres it’s never been our issue

          Yes I do I have land that had a neutral PH 40 years ago now it’s 4.8 to 5 ph and has aluminum toxicity. But organic matter also went from 2% to as high as 8%. I have been backing off on sulfer and since my Om is high N required is low. Also doing some liming now.
