Information for Farmers
A natural alternative to lime
Like lime, basalt raises soil pH and improves nutrient availability for crops. But basalt also offers distinct advantages: it enhances soil health through slow-release micronutrients, improves water retention and soil structure and provides longer-lasting acidity correction with less frequent applications.
What are the benefits?
Understand how ERW, a natural process using basalt, can support you and your farm:
Natural Soil Enhancement
Basalt naturally increases soil pH while adding mineral nutrients
Increased Yields
Basalt application has been linked to increased crop yields
Transparent Data
We give yearly soil reports to farmers in our projects
How does the process work?
1.
Registration
We collect key data such as field area and any existing soil sample analyses.
2.
Potential Analysis
In a personal consultation, we assess the potential benefits for your specific fields.
3.
Field Selection
Based on the analysis, we work with you to determine which fields and timeframes are best for applying rock powder.
4.
Agreement
We define the exact quantities, locations, and times for application.
5.
Pre-Application Soil Sampling
A comprehensive soil analysis confirms field suitability before the project begins.
6.
Delivery & Application
The rock powder is applied in coordination with you.
7.
Ongoing Monitoring
Since rock powder weathers over time, we conduct regular soil sampling and analysis on project fields to track long-term impact. We also provide useful soil data to you for each measurement period.
