Description
Applying Turbo Grow Rock Dust is often called “re-mineralization” which actually revitalises the soil by mimicking the process of glaciation.
Benefits of Turbo Grow Rock Dust include the following:
- Provides slow natural release of minerals and trace elements
- Stimulates and supports soil microbial activity
- Raises moisture and nutrient storage capacity of soils.
- Contributes to the building of humus complexes
- Buffers both high and low pH levels in soils
- Helps build resistance to disease and make for far stronger plants
- Greatly improves root development
- Increases the nutrient intake of plants
- Increases yields – some trials have given results up to 400 percent
- Increases micro organism growth
- Dust plants with Turbo-Grow for insect control
- Enhances flavour and texture in crops and fruit
- Produces more nutritious crops and fruit
- Increases resistance to insects and disease – resultant savings on pesticides and herbicides
- Increases resistance to frost and drought
- Quicker and sturdier growth rates
100% natural rock dust containing 12 minerals and trace elements.
