Description
Volcanic rock dust minerals will boost the soil, meaning that you will get tastier crops and increase resistance to pest and drought. It is a more natural, organic way of adding essential trace elements to your soil. May be applied all year round except when the ground has frozen or in windy conditions. Earthworm action will benefit the effects of the rock dust as they will draw the rock dust into the soil and help release the minerals.
Can be used with wormeries to help create a mineral enriched compost. Expect healthier bigger crops with tastier fruit and vegetables. The rock dust is completely natural and organic.
When used as Top Dressing: Spread at any time of year unless frozen or windy conditions.

Compost Activator and Accelerator: Each time you add a new layer of compost to your compost bin or pile, add a light covering over the surface that you can easily see through. Speeds up the break down and reaches higher temperatures and reduces odors.
Wormeries: Sprinkle small handful per 30cm² (1ft²) onto surface of your wormery every month. Try a small area with this amount and see the worms congregate.
