Zeolite

Zeolite is a natural mineral soil amendment that captures nutrients and moisture in the root zone for efficient, resilient gardens. Its negative charge and porous structure reduce nutrient runoff while maintaining soil aeration and moisture balance, and it acts as a pH buffer and microbial habitat in living organic soils.

At a glance

• Type: Natural zeolite mineral soil amendment
• Nutrient retention: Holds essential nutrients and moisture in the root zone
• Reduced leaching: Porous framework minimizes nutrient loss through soil or irrigation
• pH buffering: Helps stabilize pH in living soils to keep nutrients available
• Microbial habitat: Fosters beneficial bacteria to boost soil biology
• Grades: 14/40 grit (coarse, sand-like) and a finer flour-like grind
• Certification: Organic

Best for

• Living organic soil blends
• Hydroponics as a nutrient and moisture aid
• Lowering water and fertilizer usage
• Supporting robust roots and microbial life

How to use

Incorporate Zeolite into living soil blends or hydroponic media to hold nutrients and moisture in the root zone. Choose the 14/40 coarse grit or the finer flour-like grind to suit your media, and blend it through the mix for steady nutrient capture and moisture retention.
