Hi Jack, I
believe that others will also agree that in order for the rock dust to be utilized by the microbes in CT or in the soil it must have a a particle size that is compatible to the microbe size. I am talking about its utilization as a nutrient sorce. Paramagnetism
is not well studied but the anedoctal evidence is quite good and theory behind that is also quite accepted acceptable. Paramagnetism
correlates very well with soil fertility. What
is rock dust ? Basically any ground rock regardless
its paramagnetism force. I have seen quite good rock dusts that have paramagnetism on the low
side ( 400 micro CGS) so that paramagnetism does not tell you the whole picture. Good
nutrient profile is also something that you want to look at. Using
rock dust in CT machines that have a rotary pump can bring additional problems like the poweder wearing the pump. Being
“energized” does not mean anything to me. I am sure that very
little people in they are not refering to that when they say “energized”.
Energized by what ? Paramagnetism
is an inherent property of the matter. It cannot be fabricated. Books

Breads from Stones – where everything
started in -

Stone Age Farming – We have been buying a product from
Italy for composting and for control of ammonia smells in chicken houses which
in addition to microlife, contains an "energised" calcium sulphate and
an "energised" quartz. It works well but is very
expensive. The suppliers English is poor and it is very difficult to make
out what exactly their claim is. I have seen a couple of references
to the use of rockdust from quarries as an ingredient in CT. Jose
& Tom, I think. Someone referred to its paramagnetic
qualities. My question to the group is what is "rockdust" and
what benefit does it give to the CT? Is the energy/magnetism
natural or "manufactured"? Where can I read more? Possibly CT (presumably a different
recipe) can be applied in animal husbandry applications as well? South Africa jingle@wol.co.za
