Greensand 0-0-0.1

A mined mineral rich in soil conditioning Glauconite, Espoma Greensand contains 6% total potash; 0.1% available immediately. Greensand is the organic gardener's choice for potash and trace elements.

Loosens clay soils

The sand-like particle size and rounded shape of greensand prevent the interlocking of soil particles and retard soil compaction. Thus, greensand can be used to loosen high clay soils resulting in a more friable soil condition, better drainage and aeration - all of which are necessary for optimum plant growth.

*Binds sandy soils

The rounded grains of greensand are actually comprised of finely divided clay particles. The cation exchange capacity for these particles is relatively high, which means that they have a greater capacity to hold and exchange nutrients. These particles also give greensand a high water-holding capacity. This enables greensand to bind sandy soils and thereby improve plant growth.

Directions:

Light Application 5 to 10 lbs. per 100 square feet.

Medium Application 15 to 30 lbs. per 100 square feet.

Heavy Application 40 to 80 lbs. per 100 square feet

Broadcast or spread Espoma Greensand evenly over the entire area. It is recommended that the greensand be incorporated into the soil before seeding or planting. For application during the growing season use the light rates shown above.
