The volcanic dust is used by bacteria and fungus as food and then the plants can uptake the depleted vitamins and minerals from the soil and feed them to YOU. The bacteria and fungus process in the first year and the plants process in the second year. The difference will be wonderful in the second year. It works for all your plants.
@@DaveyDebGeordieland7053 Yes, perfectly. Soil all over the world has been depleted of vitamins, salts and minerals for decades. But all should avoid aluminium, as it is not good for the nervous system and the brain.
I might do a test in one of the 6 raised beds we’re putting in and see if there’s any difference….would like to use locally sourced volcanic dust from as close to Stanley as possible 🤣🤣🤣
Volcanic dust is supposed to remineralis the soil replacing lost trace elements etc but wether it works or not I don't know if there no instructions on the PAC use about a handful per square yard ,I read about it quite a lot back in the 80s
Oh yes I need to prune my fruit trees too this weekend, thanks for reminding me. A lot of things to do to prepare for the next Spring coming soon.☺ The mineral composition of the volcanic ash can also be beneficial for the soil by increasing fertility but at the same time with contrasting effects on plants due to the influence on soil characteristics such as pH, soil aeration, and biodiversity, which can detrimentally affect some crops. - i would not use it to grow crops.
A can’t wait for the Thailand videos I went to koh Samui phangan and koh Tao a few years back be interesting to see if owt has changed . I flew to surat Thani from bkk and got a bus and ferry to samui saved fortunes

So it’s mixed into the soil first year then the plants you plant the following year benefit from it? Have I got that right xx

Volcanic dust is worth using, had some good results with it, just not sure where the volcanoes are in Stanley.

We didn’t buy any because we didn’t even know what it’s for..we’re still learning about growing and there’s a lot to learn ☺️
Volcanic dust is a soil conditioner and can also help with the p.h. of your soil.
It contains a level of sulphur. Hope this helps
So you’d need a test kit to see what your soil is before you’d use anything like that? Never heard of it before ☺️
@DaveyDebGeordieland7053 it was or might still be made by a company called remin. A soil test is a must before adding anything imo.
I think I’ll do a test to see what the soil is
@@DaveyDebGeordieland7053 you can get some good soil test kits on line fairly priced aswell.

We’ll give the volcanic dust a miss then, never heard of it till we went to the allotment shop 😬 you learn something new every day 😉👍

The last time we were there was march 2020 and Thailand went into lockdown so we’re curious to see if it’s changed ☺️👍
Was on koh phangan when we heard that flights were being cancelled, looking forward to see if southern islands have changed much
A bet he wished he had came to help after that shambles of a performance
But football exists and jobs need doing 😂 I do hold my hands up when a man is needed ☺️
@@DaveyDebGeordieland7053 I ment the toon getting beat 4-1 lol
I thought you meant me trying to spray the trees on my own 😂 I said to Davey this is a man’s job as I hate it 😂
@@DaveyDebGeordieland7053 nor I ment he would have rather been helping you in the garden then watching us get battered at home of Bournemouth hahaha
