Rockdust – A Very Unscientific Trial
The jury has been out on Rockdust (natural minerals), but there’s nothing like giving it a try to see if it really does make a difference.
My tomato patch lies in poor soil outside on a south facing wall by my house. After applying Rockdust last Autumn, the tomatoes have been beautiful, big, deliciously tasty and relentless – in stark contrast to those planted in the same spot last year.
Admittedly we’ve had wonderful Autumn; ideal weather for ripening fruit of all kinds, but I’m enjoying large delicious outdoor tomatoes in late October!
What makes me think there’s something special going on is that my neighbours crops were riddled with problems and their crops were almost non-existant. One gave in and pulled the whole lot up in August!
How much Rockdust has contributed to this success is hard to define as my trial is totally without any scientific basis but I have grown tomatoes for several years and this years are the best.
Of course, correct watering, feed and sunlight are all vital to the success of any crop, but my watering was erratic (to say the least) and the plants were fed only sporadically. And it really was a lousy summer.
I’d like to think the x-factor is the Rockdust. After all, as any gardener worth their salt knows, the plants and health of a garden has a direct correlation to the soil they’re planted in.
Have a look at the video below. This is from the Highlands and their results in this barren part of the UK are spectacular.
As a further drop in the growing seas of evidence a customer kindly sent in a picture of two young Bay trees – one with Rockdust and one without.
Guess which one had the Rockdust! (Thanks to Mr. Smith of Chelmsford).
Spot The Difference!
It Rocks!
