3. If you are selling them mixed, how do you know the two components are thoroughly mixed in the 300 lbs of magnesium? Is there a chance that portions of the mixture are not of the ratio prescribed in the article?

Good questions.

1) Magnesium chloride hexahydrate
2)I have them mixed and seperate.
3)I mixed them very slowly in 1 liter stages, then mixed them in a larger container. There is a chance that they are not fully mixed exactly, but this should be minor and of small consequence. If you at one time add mostly magnesium sulfate it would bring up your sulfate a small amount. Then the next time maybe the ratio could be 15:1 and it would help balance it out.

Either way I am sure it is mixed much better then that, and should be good to go.
