Basalt flour 3 kg

Basalt is a volcanic igneous rock formed by the solidification of lava. This solidification takes place at the earth's surface, making it rich in minerals.  Basalt meal is very suitable for use as a soil conditioner of clay soil. It breaks up the heavy clay particles making the soil looser and more workable without having to dig it up.

Basalt meal is used in organic farming as a pollen powder to control pests and diseases - the powder forms a layer on the plant that protects against diseases. It contains a high concentration of silica, which is strengthens the plant's natural resistance, lime, magnesium and trace elements.

Basalt meal has the positive property of fixing nitrogen so that it is not as quickly leached out. Basalt meal is also suitable for adding to the compost pile to accelerate the fermentation process.
