How does Alroc Mineral Fertiliser work?
This section is directly from the Alrock Website …. Further reading see …. http://www.mineralfertiliser.com.au/about.htm Since soil forms from rock in the first place, poor, or overworked soil can be improved by adding specific types of rock-dust chosen for their mineral content. The volcanic Basalt, Granite, Dolomite, Rock Phosphate, Rock Potash and Bio Coal Fines in Alroc, slowly releases a complete spectrum of minerals and trace elements. Micro-organisms decompose rock-dust from the surface of tiny Alroc particles and combine this with organic matter to form humus. The rejuvenated soil supports an enormous variety of soil organisms, some of which capture nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants. The plants grow nutrient-rich and withstand pest and disease infestations much better. Because the plants develop an extensive feeder root system, they are also better able to withstand dry spells. By utilising the soil organisms, Alroc uses a natural renewable energy source
