Application for Compost
Each time you add a new layer of compost to your compost bin or pile, add sufficient rock dust to make a light covering over the surface that you can easily see through. Gardening material is found to break down into compost quicker, reach a higher temperature and odours are found to be reduced.

What The Press Say
Kitchen GardenJanuary 2019
Feed Your Soil
As plants develop they take most of the raw materials they need for healthy growth from the soil in solution via the roots. Rock dust can help to replenish these raw materials; made from ancient powdered volcanic rock, it contains an amazing number of minerals- the building blocks need by plants to grow. Minerals are a major source of nutrients for your plants and of course helthier plants are more productive. They are also more resistant to pests and diseases. It is thought that rock dust also encourages the soil flora and fauna to thrive and this in turn makes you soil more fertile and can help to boost your yields. Earthworms, for example, are encouraged to thrive and in turn by burrowing and pulling in organic matter improve the drainage, aeration and fertility of the soil.
