Most soils don’t struggle because you’re “missing NPK.” They struggle because the mineral foundation is depleted—and biology can’t run the show without the right building blocks.
In this episode, we break down basalt rock dust as an agricultural amendment: what it actually does, what nutrients it can contribute over time (silica, calcium, magnesium, iron, and trace minerals), and the real-world constraints most people ignore—like particle size, soil pH, and heavy metal testing.
What you’ll learn
What basalt rock dust is (and why it’s not a quick fertilizer)
The main mineral benefits: silica + base cations that support long-term soil function
Advantages vs. disadvantages: where basalt shines, and where it can disappoint
When to use it: bed prep, pre-plant, topdress before rain, depleted/sandy/acid soils
When NOT to use it: already-high pH soils, micronutrient-sensitive situations, untested sources
How to choose a quality basalt: lab reports (ICP/XRF), contaminant screening, and grind size
If you’re building living soil, running organic systems, or trying to create long-term resilience instead of short-term spikes, this is the basalt primer you want.
