Powdered Basalt – Soil re-Mineralizer

by
Powdered basalt cover art

Basalt powder remineralizes soil. Callahan added that basalt’s paramagnetic quality may help soil act less like inert dirt and more like a living energy/mineral system. Whether or not one accepts the full energetic theory, basalt dust is a credible slow-release mineral amendment when paired with living organic soil. Powdered basalt = finely ground volcanic rock … Read more

Well-water pH Neutralization

by

Well-water is often acidic / not “pH neutral” (~7.0 – 7.4 pH) and must be corrected (“neutralized) to avoid leaching copper and lead from copper/soldered pipes and otherwise damaging plumbing. Acidic well-water is often “neutralized” using calcite. Calcite is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate media. One of the advantages of Calcite is its self-limiting property. … Read more
