Hi Margaret,
My orchard sits on glacial till and has very poor soil. I add
at least 10 pounds of granite fines around the base of each tree
in the spring. The quarry nearby considers this waste material and
is happy to part with it. Other quarries in my area also mine basalt.
I’ll use whatever they have. Not only did I learn that my trees appreciated the
added rock dust (or fines or flour) but that a five gallon bucket of rock
dust is heavier than a five gallon bucket of rock. J
Take a look around this site for a few suggestions and the list
“Sources of rock minerals,” 1/3 down on the right side of the page:

This is one of those posts that are so far out I think someone's trying to
drive me off the list. Are you? How in heck does granite dust encourage
fungal growth? It makes absolutely no sense to me.
