Gypszeolites are natural minerals that do not breakdown like sawdust or leaves. The silica in gypszeolites breaks up clay soil by splitting the clay particles to allow air and moisture to move both ways. When gypszeolite in incorporated into the soil, its open structure and channels interact with other minerals to improve the soil. Gypszeolite's structure and high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) attracts water and nutrients such as Calcium, Iron and Magnesium, locking them up inside the gypszeolite and slowly releasing the water and nutrients as the plant requires them. The CEC of gypszeolite is 100 times greater than sand.

Gypszeolite also reduces the soil pH as it absorbs excess Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and other alkaline-causing agents from the soil. When soil pH is corrected, the proper balance of nutrients becomes available for absorption by plant roots.

This product holds moisture. Do not over water.

Tropical Plants: Mix in 10% gypszeolite onto mix to eliminate salts due to excess fertilization. Makes for a finer rootsystem by splitting root hairs.
Lawn: 10 kg per 100 sq. meters/1530sq. ft.
Potting Mixes: Mix 5% gypszeolite into potting soil.
Vegetables: Make row and slightly scatter down row, seed and cover.
Bulbs, Tubers, Potatoes, and Perennials: Mix a small handful of gypszeolite in and around plants
Small Trees (evergreens and shrubs up to 5 gal): one cup mixed in and around root zone
Large Trees (7 gallon up to caliper trees): mix two cups in and around root zone

Other Uses
Dog Runs: Sprinkle one pound (454 grams/2 cups) per 100 sq. ft./9.30 sq. meters)
Gypszeolite can also be added to dog urine spots on lawn. Cover spot with mix of grass seed, peat moss, loam, and gypszeolite.
Composting Piles: add 1-2 cups (252-454 grams) per layer of pile to aid in keeping odors down.
