This is off-topic for this thread, but I think it's an interesting interview.
ACRES U.S.A. SOS: Save our Soils. Dr Christine Jones explains the life-giving link between carbon and healthy topsoil.

Rock dust certainly goes in my pots. I would really like to grow robust plants that produce nutrient rich food. And I believe it is not as easy as just adding rock dust.

Thanks for that great read and bookmarked.

That's one of the most educational interviews I've ever read. Not entirely off topic, it illustrates the critical roles bacteria and fungi play in building soil and part of that is extracting nutrients from organic matter and rock minerals.
