Rock dust
"Broadback" wrote in message ... I'm sure that many of you have seen the recent publicity about mixing rock dust with compost to make a great soil growing media. I live in North Staffordshire, is this dust available near here and what is the cost? My lower garden is devoid of top soil, I would love to create something to enable me to grow anything, apart from gorse. all help welcome. This topic was discussed sometime ago and the Jury is out. I am very sceptical about the claims, although adding some sort of grit to a growing media will aid drainage and probably give better seedlings. In your case I would use loads of organic stuff as Nick has suggested. If you check this site you can read more about the whole thing . I believe they actually use masses of manure which,as Janet Barraclough pointed out, they omit to mention, however, they are doing very good work http://www.seercentre.org.uk/original/index-2.html They have got distributors for the stuff . |
