This Zeolite has superior absorption and adsorption properties and thereby reduces water and fertilizer costs by retaining beneficial nutrients and moisture in the root. It will also help minimize the amount of fertilizer that leaches out through the soil or water. The unique negative charge and porous structure of the mineral promotes an active soil that remains aerated and moist over time. Zeolite also acts as a ph buffer in living organic soils. It is also a great platform for soil bacteria to live on to increase their activity in the soil. This is used in our living soil mix, and is a great addition to living organic soil.
