hi all i found this very interesting and as far as i can tell no one has heard of the fertiliser in mainstream horticulture but the mine has been being built underground with very little visible above as its in yorkshire national park!
polyhalite its called and they just have to dig it out and grind it up and it then goes through 37km tunnel all the way to tyneside and around the world on ships muchlike the old potash mines dotted in the same region (most of which are closed down now due to lack of investment) .
it has npk and trace elements and sounds like the most perfect natural fertiliser,what am i missing?
i mean whats the catch? well there is always a catch. link to vid
Let’s say it’s “industrially perfect”, because it reduce the cost of processing and the inherent balance is quite good as it. More a matter of costs than type.
Im from the northeast of England. What else do you expect from where yours truly hails from??
In all honesty this is the first I’ve seen or read about it.
We could have the best fertiliser known to man but we get literally no sun so shit still won’t grow.
Cool thread!
I see there is also a mine in New Mexico, they pull Langbeinite, and polyhalite, (other stuff) from a mine down there.
I love using langbeinite, I’d like to to use the polyhalite, now that I know of it.
