People often ask, \u201cWhat exactly is<\/span> Cascade Minerals\u201d?<\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019re glad you asked. Cascade Minerals Remineralizing Soil Booster<\/strong> is an all natural soil booster made of volcanic basalt that has been ground down into a fine powder that contains the nutrients that plants need for growth and development.<\/p>\n

The next question is, \u201cWhat is basalt?\u201d<\/p>\n

Basalt is an igneous volcanic rock that is common around the world. In fact, it is the most common rock in the Earth\u2019s crust and most of the ocean floor is made of basalt. Derived from the Latin word \u201cignis,\u201d or fire, igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma (the molten rock that lies below the Earth\u2019s surface) or lava (which is magma that rises above the Earth\u2019s surface, usually during a volcanic eruption).<\/p>\n

Compared to other volcanic rocks, basalt weathers relatively quickly. Applying finely ground basalt powder is like applying a fresh deposit of natural soil minerals. The product readily begins to release nutrients to plants as soon as the roots make contact and additional nutrients become available with ongoing weathering \u2013 thereby resulting in a steady flow of nutrients over time.<\/p>\n

At Cascade Minerals, we crush massive stone\u2019s from Central Oregon\u2019s legendary Cascade Mountains to produce the highest quality volcanic basalt powder available. Our 100% natural, Cascade Minerals Remineralizing Soil Booster releases essential the minerals and nutrients that your plants need to flourish and aids in the regeneration of your soil.
