What nutrients can basalt rock add to my soil?
Our basalt rock is originally volcanic and so contains a wide range of micro and macro nutrients to help maintain your soil fertility. Although basalt rock isn’t a replacement for fertiliser, it can undoubtedly enhance your soil with useful quantities of nutrients to support crop health, yield and quality.
Our basalt rock contains:
-
Essential for plant growth potassium aids the process of photosynthesis, improves root growth and so crops become more drought resistant.
-
Strengthens plant cell walls making crops more resistant to bruises from mechanical damage during harvesting.
-
Ensures healthy, abundant, green leaf tissue.
-
An important nutrient for animal health, so ensuring there’s a good supply of it in your grass may prevent the need for expensive supplements.
We can give you a detailed breakdown of nutrients as we rigorously test all the basalt rock we supply. This is not only to provide you with the nutrient analysis but also to ensure that it is safe to spread on farmland.
-
A key nutrient for crop growth affecting the formation of chlorophyll, protein production and synthesis of oils.
-
Helps nitrogen assimilation and is important for potassium absorption.
-
Seasoning for animals, it makes the grass more palatable and helps increase daily intake.
By screening the basalt rock we source, we ensure that the number of heavy metals that we are adding to the soils do not exceed European soil guideline values. The heavy metals concerned with basalt are chromium and nickel and these are the focus of our investigations, however we are also screening for all other traces of heavy metals such as mercury and arsenic.
Soil pH Testing
Soil pH serves as a valuable gauge of a soil's fitness for robust plant growth. Ideally, for the majority of crops.
Deviations from this optimal range, whether excessively high or low, will result in nutrient deficiencies, reduced microbial vitality, diminished crop yields, and the degradation of overall soil health.
