I too have used rockdust. In my garden at home I have 2 large raised beds for veg growing to overcome the soil here which I call low level industrial waste – actually the house was built on a site formally used by two businesses run out of garages. Though the underlying soil is clay what is on top is difficult to describe in any other way! I had to buy in soil to fill the raised beds and have used compost on top ever since [nearly 2 years now]. To make sure the rockdust is in contact with suitable microbiological activity I have put a dusting on top of the ingredients whenever I top up the compost heap so it is spread with the compost. As I haven’t got a control bed I really couldn’t say what difference it has made but the veg is begining to get better!
