As the byproduct of violent volcanic activity, basalt is not an amendment that people associate with dependable crop production. Yet adding basalt to soil and potting mixes is a natural coming-together of geology and biology. It’s Mother Earths own form of soil remineralization. Results include stronger root systems, healthier plants and increased yields.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what else you need to know about the benefits of basalt as a remineralizing soil booster:<\/p>\n
Healthy soil comes from a marvelously complex interaction between biology (soil microorganisms and plant material) and geology (decomposing rock material).\u00a0 By adding volcanic basalt to our lawns and gardens, we are mimicking the Earth\u2019s own method for producing healthy soil which in turn leads to healthier plants, healthier people\u2014and a healthier planet.<\/p>\n
