Well she tried the Eco minerals and two months later she is blown away with the results. Apparently, the more organic matter the soil carries, the more eco-orgasmic the results.

Maybe in the future, lovers will give each other rock dust minerals on Valentines day…from that eco-orgasmic roses will grow..

Anyway, last year I sent away for FCRD rock minerals, mainly for the veggie patch, but I thought that I’d put some on my old rhododendron. The poor old girl is like a sickly stick figure.

A couple of months passed and I noticed in spring that it put on more growth than usual. Excellent but not amazing.

Now it’s autumn and I’ve just realized that for the first time in 20 years there is very little infestation of red spider mite. It’s there alright on some of the lower leaves. But mostly it’s not!!!!!

This is impressive. I know this is anecdotal but you’ve got to consider that this is a well established tree with a well established pattern of disease and the only change of routine it’s had is the application of the rock dust minerals. I guess you can’t go past a good dose of trace elements. My guess is that the silica in the rock minerals has toughened up the plant against disease but I’m no horticultural doctor to say for sure.

The tree is still old and spindly, but it’s a lot healthier and will hopefully be my favourite purple coloured flowering plant for a few years to come.
