Glacial Rock Dust is a natural mineral product, which is produced
over many thousands of years by glacial action. As a glacier
recedes, it leaves behind deposits of “glacial moraine”. These
deposits are mined, dried and screened for agricultural and horticultural re-mineralization. Glacial Rock Dust can replace key elements that have been depleted from the soil over the years in a
form readily used by soil microbes to create healthy soil. Glacial
Rock Dust lets the soil re-create the colloids (minerals and humus) which are needed to improve soil structure, moisture holding properties, nutrient availability and bacterial action. When the
correct balance is achieved, organic matter is turned into humus
and the soil becomes a favorable environment for a host of beneficial molds, fungi, bacteria and earthworms.
Uses & Application:
Garden & Landscape: Up to
10 kg (22 lbs) per 10 sq. m. (100
sq. ft.) Gently dig into the soil
surface up to once per year or as
desired.
Top Dressing hanging baskets, potted plants and planter
boxes: 60 ml. (4 Tbsp) per 4L
(1 gal) of soil or growing medium. Apply up to once per month
or as desired. Gently dig Glacial
Rock Dust into the soil surface
where possible.
Composting: Mix liberally
into compost pile or bin as
microbial enhancer during
processing. Also mix with any
finished compost to improve
mineral balance.
Transplanting & Pre-Mixing
Potting Soil: Thoroughly mix
120 ml. (8 tbsp) into 4L (1 gal)
of soil or growing medium
prior to planting.
