The remineralization of forests, farms, orchards,
and gardens with glacial gravel and rock dust is nature's way to regenerate and fertilize soils. During an Ice Age, as
glaciers grind rock to a fine dust over millennia, a fertile soil is created. Adding finely ground gravel dust to soils is
a tremendous boost to organic agriculture and can make it truly viable by adding up to a hundred elements and trace minerals
needed by all life. Rock dust also nourishes the microorganisms in the soil, whose protoplasm is the basis of all living things.
There is evidence to suggest that as forests begin
to die off worldwide, giving off carbon dioxide, the climate of the Earth is altered, triggering the transition from the warm
interglacial to an Ice Age. We are hastening this process with the burning of fossil fuels. Undertaking the task of remineralization
is urgent to restore our agricultural soils, to save the dying forests in the temperate latitudes, and to stabilize our climate.
Remineralization revitalizes soils by imitating natural processes and using materials that are
a result of glaciation, volcanic eruptions, and alluvial deposits.
