Can be beneficial to apply all year round except when the ground has frozen or in windy conditions. Earthworm action will benefit the effects of the rock dust as they will draw the rock dust into the soil and help release the minerals.
Can be used with wormeries to help create a mineral enriched compost. Expect healthier bigger crops with tastier fruit and vegetables. The rock dust is completely natural and organic.

Clay Soil: The principle function of the rock dust is that the minerals in it boost the living organisms of the soil ie everything from the bacteria to the worms. These will be struggling in sticky clay soil as it has the normal breathing pores will be full of water / sticky clay particles. Once the boosted soil organisms get going they will help drag humus into the clay area and break it up.
