Dr Forest’s Premium Rock Dust is a finely micronised, unprocessed product crafted from ancient diabase basalt rock, formed in volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Sourced from pristine deposits, its micronised form ensures rapid nutrient release, setting it apart from coarser rock dusts that release nutrients more slowly. Packed with essential minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, alongside trace elements like silicon, zinc, and titanium, it contains unique components like zeolites and phonolites to re-mineralise and invigorate depleted soils. Completely organic and free from pollutants, this rock dust supports sustainable gardening and farming, fostering a biologically active soil environment where plants thrive. Whether you’re nurturing a small garden or managing expansive agricultural land, Dr Forest’s Premium Rock Dust delivers vital nutrients quickly and effectively, promoting robust plant growth and long-term soil vitality.
