Rock Dust Soil Solutions - Granite Flour

This mineral-rich granite flour is quarried in Frankfort, Maine.  Dozens of trace minerals were deposited into this glacial rock centuries ago.  When the dust of granite is finely crushed and sifted and combined with a soil or compost mixture, these micro-nutrients become available for plants to benefit from. This rock dust fertilizer's slow releases of over 50 trace minerals will work with the soil to nourish your plants with the nutrients they need to grow faster and stronger. This granite flour is not only beneficial to vegetable gardens, but also flower beds, lawns, shrubs, and plants of any kind!

The basic theory of trace mineral fertilization is quite simple. Over time plants of all kinds absorb nutrients from the soil. As this deposit of minerals is depleted, it is not being replenished. The natural way to replenish your soil is by adding these nutrients back with rock dust. The microorganisms in your soil/compost mixture feed off of the micronutrients which rock dust releases, this allows them to thrive as balanced communities and make the soil healthier promoting healthy plants. Only the nutrients needed are utilized and the remaining nutrients reside in the soil. This process is referred to as remineralization, which replicates nature's process of glaciation. This process can lead to many agricultural benefits, such as larger, stronger, faster-growing plants.
