Get to Know Your Soil Amendments:
Gypsum aids water penetration and increases nutrient and water holding capacity. It also reduces the harmful effects of soil salts and improves soil tilth.
Elemental Sulfur is a long term pH and salt reducer. It will also improve nutrient availability and increase water holding capability.
Lime is a pH increaser and can add soluble calcium to the soil profile while adjusting pH to the desired level.
Compost encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria and fungi that break down organic matter to create humus. Compost also aids in increasing the availability of applied nutrients and moisture retention. Ask us about Vermicompost!
Bentonite improves water and nutrient holding capacity of soils and helps provide a better home for soil microorganisms.
Sugar can provide energy to plants so they can more efficiently move and use nutrients.
Micronutrients
Beyond NPK, calcium, and sulfur, plants rely on 9 other essential elements from the soil for growth. Soil tests can determine the needs of individual soils so farmers can make cost benefit decisions to apply additional nutrients or not.
