Dolomite Is The Key To Healthier Plant And Animal Stock
Soil, as it were, is more than compost and dirt used to grow plants. It is actually the stomach of the plant and just like people, too many chemicals will cause ill effects in the long run. Plants that are grown in organically based soil and fertilized with magnesium rich dolomite are generally healthier and last longer than plants that are mass produced in the industry.
As dolomite occurs naturally in rock deposits throughout New Zealand, the finer the grind, the better the fertilizer. This mineral is used in the fertilizer that is used for cash crops as well as animal feed and produces higher yields of crops. Fertilizing the ground with organically produced fertilizer also affords healthier grass and reduces the need to re-grass every season. Animals feeding on the grass are healthier and produce better products that are healthier for human consumption.
There is no question that food produced in mass quantities that are heavy on the chemicals is not healthy for society. This is what has led to health problems including food allergies and obesity in young children. Farms that only use organic products and feed for their animals are coming into high demand among the masses as society has placed higher emphasis on obesity and food-born allergies. The fewer chemicals in the food, the better off people will be and farmers using dolomite fertilizer in their soil are really benefiting from this notion.
Fertilizer that is high in magnesium and calcium is better for the soil that produces cash crops and animal feed. Fruits and vegetables store for longer periods of time and root rot is greatly reduced as well. Fungal and bacterial diseases in the plants are also greatly reduced and plant yields are much higher due to the use of dolomite rich fertilizer. The soil is only but a small portion of what makes farm life healthy, it is the products used to produce a healthy soil that make up a good portion of that equation. It is also much more cost-effective to use organic soil as opposed to chemically produced soil. Animals are healthier, cash crops are higher and healthier, farmers make more money and a healthier society are direct results of using organically based fertilizers.
