Hi I have been approached by suppliers of Seer Rock dust - from scottish quarries - meant to remineralise land / enhance micro-organisms as a result etc.
Has anyone had any experience of using this ??

This topic came up some time ago and Piglet, who works ina rock quarry answered. Try the search facility. Set it to return Threads rather than posts, there are several, the most relevant I think is viewtopic.php?f=4&t=544&hilit=rock+dust

thank-you very much Peter ... the jury is out then !
or rather there is no really scientific proof...

thanks also for the search tip - as I did search but to return threads ..

The jury is indeed out. The application of rock dust in one of my tunnels and raised beds will be in its first full season this year, so results will be posted in the autumn.

It certainly helps the soil structure, I can say that much.
