Palagonite Basalt Rock Dust (Unique Analysis)

Palagonite is a basalt rock dust mined in Australia, prized for its ability to uncompact soils, improve water holding capacity and feed beneficial soil microbes. It is made from a form of volcanic ash called palagonite tuff.

Because of its unique ability to provide cation-exchange capacity, palagonite will also stop nutrients leaching from your soil. Because of this we recommended to use palagonite mixed with a quality compost and then top dressed onto your soil or mixed with your compost pile. This won’t be necessary in soils already rich in organic matter.

Use at 50-150g per square meter.

Typical Analysis – Silicon 22.30%, Titanium 1.44%, Aluminum 7.70%, Manganese 0.23%, Magnesium 3.30%, Calcium 5.10%, Sodium 2.36% Phosphorus 0.24%, Potassium 0.77%.

Other advantages:

• Numerous vital minerals are abundant in it, including as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and a number of trace minerals.
  

• Palagonite increases soil health and fertility by incorporating necessary nutrients and encouraging the development of advantageous microbes.
  

• It can be utilized to increase plant output and general health.
  

• It is commonly used to make nutrient-deficient and worn out soils more fertile.
