Irishgirl Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 OK, so since I came across this thread I read a little on it. I read a lot about rock dust being good for your garden & plants. I was just wondering if limestone dust would also quailty for this purpose. I live near a query where they break up the rock & I was going to ask for a couple of buckets for my garden for next season. Do you think this would be ok, work or what are your views on This?

Thanks for this advice Jack's lad. Just wondering why you stopped using rock dust for your grow if it is good for your house Garden? So would the lime stone dust be any benefit to the ground b4 planting Out? Sorry, I am just trying to gather as much info as I can as it's a new world to me .

Don't want any chlorine because I am using products like mykos and biosys. Don't want any harm to come to my bacteria or fungi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingDee Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 @cheesehunter I've used biosys and fungi this round myself and also volcanic rock dust. I'm pretty sure the bennies are fine judging by my roots on pot ups. I wouldn't worry about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to purchase the rock dust now, cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
