Product Reviews
Have used Remin volcanic rock dust for a few years now and it has made a massive difference to our garden . We use it pretty much on everything from our lawns , tropical flower beds , veg patch and in our green house and compost bin . The lawns are lush and green with no weeds and grow quickly , Flowerbeds are always full and lush and we get a good amount of crops off of everything we grow . Would highly recommend Remin to any level of gardener as its easy to apply and the results will speak for them selves .
We always sprinkle it on grass clippings and other green material to speed up composting and to replace lost minerals
I used this product last year and it seems to help a lot with my clay soil - add a bit of Biochar at the same time and the results have been brilliant. I add a handful to my tomato pots and peppers too - any spent compost goes back onto the garden and so does the remaining minerals. My tomatoes didn't seem to suffer with magnesium deficiency either. Whether that's luck or the soil improvers I don't know, but I did have a very good crop last year. Will have to wait until later to find out if it happens again! Fingers crossed!

What The Press Say
Kitchen GardenJanuary 2019
Feed Your Soil
As plants develop they take most of the raw materials they need for healthy growth from the soil in solution via the roots. Rock dust can help to replenish these raw materials; made from ancient powdered volcanic rock, it contains an amazing number of minerals- the building blocks need by plants to grow. Minerals are a major source of nutrients for your plants and of course helthier plants are more productive. They are also more resistant to pests and diseases. It is thought that rock dust also encourages the soil flora and fauna to thrive and this in turn makes you soil more fertile and can help to boost your yields. Earthworms, for example, are encouraged to thrive and in turn by burrowing and pulling in organic matter improve the drainage, aeration and fertility of the soil.

It can be used in plant containers as a top dressing or added into compost prior to plotting and planting.
