permaculture

[Keith Johnson <keithdj@mindspring.com>]

I've been using rock dusts for the last 20 years on my own gardens and 
those of my clients and in every single case the difference in both 
plant and soil health, pest and disease resistance, and growth is quite 
impressive. When Y2K "threatened", we at Earthaven bought tons of lime, 
green sand and rock phosphate just in case.....
ACRES USA has reported on successes with rock minerals for at least 30 
years because it works.
