11. Our Steinkraft products - Zeolite for plants and soil
Here we write about the effects and application examples of zeolite, rock flour, and the application of lime to soil. Are you familiar with basalt primary rock flour ? Its paramagnetic properties? Vermiculite and its high water-storage capacity? Especially when it comes to water storage, there's no getting around it. And there's no getting around microorganisms for a healthy microbiome, as the basis for the effectiveness of primary rock flour.
6 tips on how to use zeolite in the garden and on plants – briefly and concisely explained
-
Soil improvement: Mix zeolite into the soil to improve water retention and aeration, and utilize nutrients more efficiently. In addition to nutrients and a healthy microbiome, the soil also needs, or especially, air. Oxygen has paramagnetic properties. Learn more about that here >>>
-
Pest control: Use zeolite as a natural barrier against slugs and other pests. As a foliar fertilizer, it's also very effective against Colorado potato beetles and wireworms. Learn more here >>>
-
Composting: Add zeolite to your compost heap to reduce odors and speed up the decomposition process. Combine it with basalt and Microorganisms . This is a compost booster.
-
Root health: Use zeolite in potted plants to promote root health and prevent overwatering. Use the coarser zeolite material at the bottom of the pot to allow water to drain well.
-
Natural fertilizer: Use zeolite as a long-term fertilizer that slowly releases important minerals and trace elements into the soil.
- Water storage : Zeolite and vermiculite are really good at storing water. They just need to be finely ground, so their surface area is large and they can absorb water super effectively. Check out the water storage pellets >>>
Conclusion:
With these gardening blogs and tips, you'll be well-equipped to turn your garden into a blooming paradise. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gardener, there's always something new to learn and discover, especially when it comes to sustainable practices like using zeolite.
