Dr Julius Hensel was the greatest figure in the history of agricultural chemistry even if his powerful enemies succeeded in suppressing his memory, destroying his books and getting his Stone Meal fertilizer off the market.
​
Hensel first made his discovery of powdered rock fertilization when he was a miller.
​
One day, while milling grain, some stones were mixed with it and ground into a fine powder. He sprinkled this stone meal over the soil of his garden and was surprised to note how the vegetables took on a new, more vigorous growth. This led him to repeat the experiment by grinding more stones and applying the stone meal to fruit trees. Much to his surprise, apple trees that formerly bore wormy, imperfect fruit now produced fine quality fruit free from worms. Also vegetables fertilized by stone meal were free from insect pests and diseases. It seemed to be a complete plant food, which produced fine vegetables even in the poorest soil.
In place of chemical fertilizers, supplying only three elements in an unnatural, caustic form, Hensel recommended the bland minerals of pulverized rocks, especially granite, a primordial rock which contains the many trace minerals that meet all needs of plant nutrition.

-
Stone Meal creates healthier, tastier, more vitaminized and mineralized foods.
​
-
Stone Meal creates immunity to insect infestation, worms, fungi and plant diseases of all kinds.
​
-
Stone Meal, in place of chemical or animal fertilizers, eliminates the requirement for pesticides because plants and trees grown with Stone Meal are immune to pests and so require no spraying.
​
-
Foods raised with Stone Meal are better for human health and the prevention of disease than those grown with chemicals or animal manure.
-
Stone Meal improves the keeping and shipping quality of foods, so that they stay fresh longer, in contrast to the rapid deterioration of foods given abundant animal manure.
​
-
Stone Meal helps plants to resist drought and frost, enabling them to survive when those fed on manure and chemicals perish.
​
-
Stone Meal produces larger crops which are more profitable because the farmer is saved the expense of buying chemical fertilizers which are rapidly leached from the soil by rainfall, whereas Stone Meal, being less soluble, is gradually released during the course of years and remains in the soil, being the most economical of fertilizers.
