Why Basalt Rock Dust? 🤔

  • Natural Release of Elements: Provides a slow, natural release of essential elements and trace minerals 🌍, ensuring a steady nutrient supply to your plants 🌿.
  • Boosted Nutrient Intake: Enhances the nutrient intake of plants 🌾, leading to healthier growth and more robust yields 📈.
  • Higher Brix Reading: Results in crops with a higher sugar content 🍭, indicating better quality and flavor 🍅.
  • pH Regulation: Rebalances soil pH ⚖️, creating an optimal environment for plant growth.
  • Microbial and Earthworm Boost: Increases the growth of beneficial microorganisms 🦠 and earthworm activity 🪱, vital for soil health.
  • Humus Complex Formation: Builds the humus complex 🌱, the organic component of soil, which improves soil structure and fertility.
  • Erosion Prevention: Helps in preventing soil erosion 🌊, preserving the topsoil layer essential for plant growth.
  • Enhanced Soil Storage: Increases the water 💧 and nutrient storage capacity of the soil, benefiting plants during dry spells 🌞.
  • Natural Pest Resistance: Increases resistance to insects 🐜, disease 🦠, frost ❄️, and drought 🌵, reducing the need for chemical interventions.
  • Nutritious Crops: Produces crops that are more nutritious 🥦, benefiting both the environment and consumers.
  • Flavor Enhancement: Enhances the flavor in crops 🍓, making them tastier.
  • Eco-Friendly: Decreases dependence on synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides 🚫💉, promoting sustainable agriculture 🌍.

How to Apply Basalt Rock Dust:

  1. Composting with Rock Dust: Combine rock dust with organic materials in compost 🍂 to speed up the composting process and remineralize soils. Add 2-20 lbs of rock dust per cubic yard of compost.
  2. Soil Acidity Regulation: If the soil is acidic, combine rock dust with agricultural limestone to neutralize the soil's pH ⚖️.
  3. Direct Application: Rock dust can be spread by hand ✋, rototilled, disked in, or applied with a manure or fertilizer spreader. It can also be incorporated into potting soil mixtures or added directly to compost.
  4. Quantity: Depending on your soil quality, apply 1-10 tons per acre. The finer the rock dust, the less you need. An application of 3 tons per acre could last a few years, while 10 tons per acre could last many years.

A Note on Rock Types: While various rock types can be used for remineralization, Basalt stands out as an ideal source 🌋, especially in regions without glacial deposits. It offers a broad spectrum of minerals in a natural balance, making it a superior alternative to chemical fertilizers. Elevate your garden's potential and embrace the power of nature with Basalt Rock Dust 🌸🌿🌼.

Seems to help

Another of many important ingredients to your soil, add volcanic minerals to the soil, think about all the places great weed grew wild, most of them were in volcanic soil. Basalt is from lava, and that's from volcano's. Now you don't have to wait for nature to break it down over several million years and add it to your soil, compost, and any garden you have.

Great amendment

Looks like gravel. Does great in flower based compost teas and top dressing during the flowering stage. I am getting bigger yields and better tasting flowers.
