Have been traveling this last couple of weeks. Have driven close to 1000 miles to mine rock that I put into my organic rock fertilizer. I mine 2 different types of rocks and then grind and mix them. One rock provides trace elements and necessary growing essential, the other provides necessary minerals that plants need. Powered rock is scattered over growing area by hand broadcasting. I then foliar spray with soluible kelp and a special wetting agents. I then use hose to wash the granular material that is on the leaves on to the ground. In row crops I scatter powered rock along rows or put at top of row in furrow and let water take it down thru the garden. I am using the fertilizer on corn, carrots, onions, cukes, beans, pepper and tomatoes besides my pumpkins
