Soon Rockdust will be tripping off the tongue with the same familiarity as 'farmyard manure' or 'blood, fish and bone.' Here is a secret which is about to become big news for all gardeners.
Rockdust is all about the re-mineralisation of soil and that quite simply means putting the minerals, once left on the ground 420 million years ago, back into your soil. Rockdust is basically powderised volcanic rock.
Rockdust equivalents have only been mined in a few places around the world - Latvia, Washington state USA, Austria and now right here in Scotland. Rockdust contains a vast amount of trace elements and minerals and this can help your garden (just as the last ice age left left behind mineral rich soil) in numerous ways.
- Rock dust has been extensively tested and is 100% organic.
- Rockdust is certified by the Scottish Organic Producers Association and the Organic Farmers and Growers.
It's shown that:
- Vegetables grown with rock dust contain masses more nutrients and minerals than those grown without.
- The flavour of vegetables is significantly better and they have a longer shelf life
- It will replenish poor soil and make it productive
- Improves drought resistance
- Increases pest resistance (you get a stronger plant)
- There are absolutely no nasty chemicals
- Rockdust locks in carbon dioxide from the atmsophere helping the environment
Rockdust is also great for lawns - you'll get a lusher greener lawn with stronger colour and greater drought resistance if you use Rockdust as a top dressing, and can be used in every type of gardening environment; from hanging baskets, to borders, composting and lawns.
For application:
- Rockdust can be used at any time of the year
- Simply sprinkle Rockdust evenly over an appropriate area to be planted as you would bone-meal
- For lawns and in flower and vegetable gardens spread evenly and rake in. (Please contact mailto:store@thegardenfactory.co.uk if you are interested in the 20kg bags). 0.5kg of Rockdust should cover one square metre, 20kg - 40 square metres. If your soil is poor simply increase the quantities by up to 5kg per square metre.
- Can be added with other soil conditioners, multipurpose compost or plant foods
- As a composting agent, to speed up the composting process for healthier compost, add 3-5mm over the surface of each layer of green waste
