Why the volcano?



Above: Rich Volcanic minerals from deep within the earth

The Volcano is earth's most powerful mineral factory, manufacturing everything from gold to diamonds, potassium, zinc and silver to lead and mercury.
HealthyEarth has one of the cleanest, highest quality, broad-spectrum volcanic magma dusts on the planet. We have spent decades developing and refining the technology needed to activate these powerful minerals for agricultural and horticultural use. A large percentage of our fertilizers contain this rich Volcanic magma dust.

Why are minerals so important?

It only takes two or three years of cropping for farm soil to become deficient in essential minerals and trace elements (some nutrients are returned in manures, but very little).
The fact is that animals (including humans) need at least 60 different minerals in their diet to keep healthy and avoid degenerative disease.
Most fertilisers contain nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, but what about the other 57 minerals (minimum) needed for good health?
Every mineral has a definite purpose in the animal metabolism such as cobalt for vitamin B12 production to prevent nervous disorders, copper to prevent scours, stroke and aortic aneurism, calcium to prevent hip problems, poor bone density and milk production, selenium to prevent cardio myopathy, some cancers, and muscle diseases, boron for hormone production and fertility and calcium absorption . . . the list goes on.

The benefits of sustainable agriculture

Sustainable agriculture/horticulture is the practice of beneficially farming the soil year after year without damaging and depleting the soil. Sustainable farming is founded on good soil technology and mineralisation, or for most farms, re-mineralisation.
Everybody may be talking about sustainable agriculture, but it is often difficult for  farmers to access practical information and products that allow them to practice it effectively. With the proper knowledge and products, farms can be switched over in one season and see the benefits immediately.(See our company news section)
The benefits of sustainable agriculture and horticulture not only directly affect the health and profitability of the crop or pasture, but  the health of humans or animals that eat from it.
