Using Stone Dust?

AlittleSalt · September 23, 2014

Autumn is here now, so I've been thinking of ways to amend the soil in our main garden and the other beds (Raised and not raised beds). Being that I am a retired/disabled 7th generation Stone Mason, I have a tile saw and a much larger brick saw with a diamond blade. I am wondering about using stone dust to add to the soil?

The stone types I have huge piles of are:

Limestone (Both cut stone and natural)
Sandstone that are from the property we live on
River Rock from the Brazos and smaller rivers nearby
Chalk Rock
Various assorted varieties of ledge stone and sedimentary types

I'm wondering if you guys might know about using stone dust as a way of adding trace elements/minerals/etc. ? Any info shared would be great.
