On\u00a0Earth Day (and every day), let\u2019s take a moment to appreciate the soil beneath our feet.<\/p>\n
More important, if we don’t start taking better care of our soil\u2014there won\u2019t be any soil left to take care of us. Years and years of supporting plant life combined with the over application of synthetic fertilizers has left most of the world\u2019s soils seriously depleted of the essential minerals and trace elements that plants need to thrive.<\/p>\n
Remineralization with rock dust is one way of turning \u201cdirt\u201d back into \u201csoil\u201d by adding back essential nutrients that have been leached away and which are found naturally in sources such as volcanic basalt. Used as a soil amendment, rock dust is an all-natural way to feed essential microbes like worms, mites, nematodes and other small insects. When these organisms die and decay, they release minerals that plants can use. The result is healthy soil that leads to strong and healthy plants.<\/p>\n
We demand a lot of our soil. Isn\u2019t it time we treat it right? Happy Earth Day!<\/strong><\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Cascade Minerals Remineralizing Soil Booster<\/strong> is an all-natural soil amendment made from massive basalt stones from Central Oregon\u2019s legendary Cascade Mountains. Rocks are crushed to produce a finely milled, 100% natural product that is approved for organic production and releases the essential minerals and trace elements that plants and humans need to flourish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On\u00a0Earth Day (and every day), let\u2019s take a moment to appreciate the soil beneath our feet.
