"The Secrets of Rockdust" Conference

Pitlochry Festival Theatre on Friday 18th March, 2005

This Conference offers a unique opportunity to learn about the extraordinary capabilities of Rockdust that, for most, are only now coming to light. The aim is to reveal "The Secrets of Rockdust" to as wide an audience as could benefit from realising these "Secrets" for themselves.

ROCKDUST is nothing more and nothing less than the unprocessed by-product of quarrying. The SEER Centre is working with the Rockdust produced by Tayside Contracts, www.tayside-contracts.co.uk, at Collace Quarry in Perthshire. This Rockdust now carries the SEER Rockdust^TM trademark.

Whilst, for academic proof, more research is required, Delegates will also learn about the research that is has been completed to date and what is underway. Cameron and Moira Thomson's 20 years of experience, backed up by a very impressive range of support speakers, will advise how SEER Rockdust^TM has the capability to:

1. REDUCE GREEN HOUSE GASES VIA CARBON SEQUESTRATION

When added to the soil, SEER Rockdust^TM‘s trace elements and minerals bond with the greenhouse gas, CO², in the atmosphere to form carbonates. This may lock in enough carbon to stabilise climate change.

2. BOOST PLANT GROWTH

Dramatically Improves Crop Yield

Improves Disease Resistance of Crops

Extends Shelf-life of Crops

Improves Flavour of Edible Crops

Improves Nutritional Value of Crops

3. BENEFIT THE SOIL AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Improves Fertility of the Soil

Binds up Pollution caused by Chemical Fertilisers

Improves Biodiversity

Ensures no Chemical Fertilisers are required to produce results

4. FACILITATE COMPOSTING

Increases Composting Rate

Increases Heat Generated during Composting

Reduces Odours Generated by Composting

Binds up Ammonia into the Soil

Improves Compost Fertility

Benefits the National Waste Strategy

5. IMPROVES NUTRITION

Improves Health of Consumers eating Crops Grown with SEER Rockdust^TM

At the Conference KEY SPEAKERS will advise how SEER Rockdust^TMlink everything – from the Indian Ocean Tsunami, to your garden, farm or estate, to your waste, to the health of the environment and to YOUR health.
