Volcanic dust was dumped on the University fields. Three weeks later senior technical officers from the Crops Department were surprised to discover enormous increases in crop growth.</div> <bR> <div> Samples supplied to the National Analysis Laboratory revealed a long list o minerals and trace elements in the volcanic dust. It is discovered that the twin volcanoes were providing the soil with nutrients from powdered volcanic rock, just as eruptions have always done. It makes sense that soil derived from the volcanic basalt is keenly sort after by farmers.</div> <bR> <div> A report in the <I>Sydney Morning Herald</I> (<I>20/3/97</I>) seems to substantiate that basalt and granite rock minerals may hold the key to "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><I><B>health and longevity</b></I></FONT>". Russell Beckett, a veterinary scientist and biochemical pathologist is working with a small team of earth scientists to determine why stock on farms near Cooma in Southern NSW " more than double their 'normal" reproductive lives" The " sheep and cattle seem to have what humanity has been seeking since the dawn of civilized history: the ability to live longer, stay healthy and continue reproducing..." The only common factor on all farms involved is that they are "on the basalt-granite interface" where the soil contains minerals from the rock types. Beckett says that " any discovery of what is enhancing the life of animals will apply to humans, including answers to degenerative diseases such as cancer." <B>ALROC</b> users await further results from Dr. Beckett's team.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>WHAT IS ALROC MINERAL FERTILIZER?</U></b></div> <bR> <div> <B>ALROC</b> is a blend of crushed volcanic basalt, granite, dolomite, bentonite, rock phosphate, rock potash and coal fines, chosen for their mineral content. The coal fines have been composting over 20 years and are added as a dry, nicro-fine dust to provide carbon for our soils in the form of organic matter. S.A.F.E. produces 6 different mixes of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#339966" FACE="Arial" ><B>ALROC which are Certified Organic by the Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA).</b></FONT></div> <bR> <div> Applying rock dust to the soil is not new. Lime, dolomite and gypsum are all commonly used.<B> ALROC</b> takes this traditional farming technique to a new level of sophistication, with the blend of rock types in the mix and aprilling process to make for ease of application with any spreader, hand or mechanical.</div> <bR> <div> In addition to the natural <B>ALROC</b> mixes, S.A.F.E. produces supablends. Supablends have been developed so that conventional farmers can reduce their dependency on high artificial fertilizers rates. Supablends are 70% <B>ALROC</b> mixed with conventional fertilizers. <B>ALROC</b> remineralises the soil and neutralizes the acidity of the chemical fertilizers. S.A.F.E. produces 5 different supablend mixes.</div> <bR> <div> <B>ALROC</b> is suitable for home gardeners, commercial farmers, golf courses and councils - any body interested in perfect plans and a safe planet. It comes in 20 kg. (home gardeners' blend) 40 kg, 1 tonne bulka bags or bulk.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="0ce5f650.png" border=0 width="95" height="101" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>   <a href="http://tracker.clicktrade.com/tracker/tracker.dll?to='http://www.artprintcollection.com/'&ad=42352.1&lp=411248">Artprint Collection</a> - The world's finest selection of Contemporary fine art prints and posters.
