    Hi Russel –

    Using Volcanic Basalt Rock Dust as an amendment or potting soil additive will help restore fertility and increase yields. Chock-full of minerals and nutrients, this slow-release soil booster is used to enhance the supply of trace elements and helps support the biological processes required for sustainable and optimal plant growth. Best of all, it’s approved for use in organic crop production.

    I have contacted the supplier of this natural mineral product and asked for a complete chemical analysis. I will post their response as soon as it is available.

    Hope it helps!
