Nobody has yet to describe what “rockwool” is composed from and of.

Rockwool is composed of basalt and chalk, melted at high temperature and then blown to aerate it much like cotton candy. Think of it as manmade aerated lava.

That was interesting too. Never knew what rockwool was made of.

Here's another great use for it if you're into gardening. It's a bit high-tech for me, I like gardening outdoors in soil, but fascinating. Lots of produce being grown this way now.
