The practical side of using rockdusts as fertilizers, compost enrichers, and plant growth enhancers is discussed in this exciting book from Acres U.S.A. Beginning with an explanation of the spiritual, cosmic side of rocks and drawing from his extensive knowledge of biodynamic techniques and dowsing, Lisle explains how to utilize these materials in agriculture. Peppered with in-depth quotations from other writings on the forces within rocks, this is destined to be the definitive work on the subject.
