Volcanic Loam Fertilizer

Derived from The Volcanic Mountain of Java island, this product represents:

A very mineral rich Natural loam and grows good crops without the addition of much fertilizer.

One example of the effect of volcanoes on agricultural lands is in Italy. Except for the volcanic region around Naples, farming in southern Italy is exceedingly difficult because limestone forms the basement rock and the soil is generally quite poor. But the region around Naples, which includes Mount Vesuvius, is very rich mainly because of two large eruptions 35,000 and 12000 years ago that left the region blanketed with very thick deposits of tephra which has since weathered to rich soils.

The region has been intensively cultivated since before the birth of Christ. The land is planted with vines, vegetables, or flowers. Every square foot of this rich land is used, the vineyard margin rimmed with orange and lemon trees, herbs, and flowers. It also is a huge tomato growing region.

Volcanic loams have developed on older (4,000 and 40,000 years old). The altered volcanic ashes are well-drained, yet hold water for plants, and are easily tilled.

Deep volcanic loams are particularly good for pasture growth (there is a large New Zealand dairy industry), horticulture, and maize.

Furthermore, volcanic loam also supply in small quantities a number of trace elements that may be scarce, but are very important and necessary to allow plants to make the right proteins and other molecules necessary for life.

Now, we bring this very fertile loam in powder form right in front of your garden and plantation !
