Rock Dust Soil Improver
Rock dust is a completely natural product and is safe for organic vegetable gardening, Remin is organically approved.Volcanic rock dust improves health, yield, vigour, flavour, and pest resistance for vegetables, flowers, fruit, grass, and trees. It is also very beneficial if added to the compost heap and wormeries.
Remin rock dust can be applied all year round by scattering on the surface and raking in lightly. REMIN volcanic rock dust is beneficial as a:
- TOP DRESSING for growing medium, e.g. soil and / or compost
- COMPOST IMPROVER to mix with every bag and bin of mature compost
- COMPOST ACTIVATOR and ACCELERATOR for compost making systems
- TONIC FOR WORMERIES
MINIMUM ANNUAL DOSE: Apply 0.5kg per square metre, or in gardener’s terms “a handful a yard”. A 10kg bag supplies 20 square metres and a 20kg bag supplies 40 square metres. This annual dose has also been seen to benefit lawns.
BOOSTER DOSE: Apply 2kg per square metre to give your soil a boost.
TOP DRESSING FOR POTTED PLANTS, TUBS, BASKETS:
Sprinkle level tablespoon on to 15cm2 (6inch2) surface of compost or soil and water as usual. Two applications per year.
COMPOST ACTIVATOR and ACCELERATOR:
Each time you add a new layer of compost to your compost bin or pile, add sufficient to make a light covering over the surface that you can easily see through. Gardening material is found to break down into compost faster, reach a higher temperature and odours are found to be reduced.
TONIC FOR WORMERIES:
Sprinkle a small handful per 30cm2 (1ft2) onto surface of your wormery every month. Try a small area with this amount and see the worms congregate and enjoy it!
FURTHER INFO
MIXING WITH OTHER PLANT FOODS: REMIN volcanic rock dust has been shown to work well with soil conditioners, animal manures and plant foods. Whilst lime can still be used to raise the pH of acid soils, we do not recommend adding it at the same time as REMIN volcanic rock dust as this reduces the effectiveness of both materials. Leave at least two weeks between both applications.
