Angus Rock Dust

Apply Angus Rock Dust as soon as possible. The sooner it is applied, the sooner it begins to benefit your soil and plants. After the first application further annual applications in the autumn are recommended.

Soil based applications

For existing trees, shrubs, herbaceous borders, bulbs, fruit trees & bushes:

• 1^st application now @ 2kg/m² [8 tonne/acre or 20 tonne/ha.]
• Annual applications in autumn/winter @ 500g/m² [2 tonne/acre or 5 tonne/ha.]

Best applied to soil surface and covered with organic mulch [VermiCompost], nature will take the rock dust and its goodness to the root zone

For existing lawns & pasture, meadows etc:

• 1^st application now @ 2kg/m² [8 tonne/acre or 20 tonne/ha.]
• Annual applications in autumn/winter @ 500g/m² [2 tonne/acre or 5 tonne/ha.]

Best applied to soil surface and top dressed with organic mulch [VermiCompost], nature will take the rock dust and its goodness to the root zone

(NB: Use with care on lawns as sand/grit particles may damage cylinder mowers)

For vegetable gardens [all crops]:

• 1^st application now @ 3kg/m² [12 tonne/acre or 30 tonne/ha.]
• Annual applications in autumn/winter @ 1kg/m² [4 tonne/acre or 10 tonne/ha.]

Best applied to soil surface, but if you are digging then we suggest you double the rate of use and incorporate to a depth of up to 300mm.

Planting of trees, shrubs and root balled plants:

• Back fill with your natural soil and 5% Angus Rock Dust.

Planting of bulbs:

• Sprinkle 2kg/m² [8 tonne/acre or 20 tonne/ha.] to the soil surface prior to planting

Preparation for laying of turf or sowing of grass seed for lawns, pasture etc:

• Sprinkle 2kg/m² [8 tonne/acre or 20 tonne/ha.] to the soil and rake in to the surface.

Compost / Growing media applications

Always use Angus VermiCompost with Angus Rock Dust in non-soil based growing media [commonly, but not always accurately, referred to as compost].

For all crops/plants in all types/sizes of containers mix 5% Angus Rock Dust and 5% VermiCompost with the growing media. E.g. If using 90 litres of growing media mix in 5kg of Angus Rock Dust and 5 litres of Angus VermiCompost.

Composting

Angus Rock Dust is an ideal addition to your compost heap. Sprinkle a dusting to each layer to encourage speedy activation of microbes and ready to use compost sooner.
