Application of - GREEN BASALT

The mineral product can be used in the form of dust or granules for all agricultural crops, fruit and vegetable cultivation, herbs, flowers, etc. It is suitable for perennial plants as well as for grassland, meadows, pastures, and lawns, which are particularly intensively used, e.g., in recreational areas, football fields, golf courses, etc. In field cultivation, it is best applied for stubble treatment or plowing in autumn or spring. It can also be used as a top-dressing and as an additive to organic fertilizers (e.g., compost, manure, slurry, bird droppings). As a result, it enriches the soil with microelements and retains nitrogen in the ground. An effective solution is to spread the meal directly on the snow. Water from structured melting snow, combined with the meal, forms a completely ecological fertilizer. The product has an alkaline reaction and enables the complete elimination of aggressive liming.

It can be used simultaneously with all organic and mineral fertilizers as well as with microorganisms. When planting fruit trees and shrubs, it is recommended to pour the meal into the planting holes and mix it with the soil. A suitable paste with the meal can also be applied to the roots. Trees and shrubs in an existing orchard should be fertilized within the crown area.

In gardens, rock meal can be used as a top-dressing, spread in rows or rings around individual plants, mixed with the topsoil, or covered with compost. The product can also be used as a seed, bulb, or root dressing for biennial and perennial plants. It can be mixed with other dry or wet dressing agents. The treatment should be carried out a few days before the planned sowing or planting. Basalt meal can also be added to compost, manure, and slurry.
