HUMATE-SELECT

(Glomus intraradices) Mycorrhizal fungi form the foundation of ecosystem function in most terrestrial vegetation. The fungo will permeate the soil and interconnect the root systems, including different plant species.

Humic acid, the fundamental building block of humates are metal mineral salts of humic and fulvid acids. According to Texas A&M Associate Professor Dr. Robert E. Pettit, humic substances restore ecological balance in soils by providing sustenance for beneficial organisms like nematodes, yeasts, algae, and bacteria. Humates have been shown to stimulate root growth, the uptake of soil nutrients, and improves soil structure to enhance moisture retention in areas prone to dry or drought conditions. In sum, it's good stuff.

1. Dispersion of clay in compact soils.
2. Cohesion of sandy soils
3. Increase in soil permeability
4. Increase in the soils capacity to retain water
5. Reduction of water evaporation from soils

Chemical Benefits:
1. Increases the capacity of cationic exchange.
2. Fosters the transportation of microelements up to the plant roots.
3. Easier absorption of nutrients.
4. Beneficial chelating effect on Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, and Copper.
5. Reduces the salinity in soil by sequestering Na+.

Benefits include: Early Growth; Early Rooting; Decreased Water and Fertilizer user; Increased Pathogen suppression, Improved Soil Structure.

PEAT

Organic Peat Soil Conditioner is organic matter that has a positive effect on the physical, chemical, and biological reactions of the soil leading to an increase in soil fertility. Peat is comprised of Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid, which are proven to promote root strength and develop beneficial microbial activity. Simply, Peat and Humate helps release beneficial nutrients like Nitrogen, Iron, Potassium, etc. that are abundant in the soil but are not available for the plant to uptake. The biggest visual result seen after a Humate application is the grass turns a deep green color without promoting faster top-growth.

Physical Benefits:
1. Dispersion of clay in compact soils.
2. Cohesion of sandy soils
3. Increase in soil permeability
4. Increase in the soils capacity to retain water

SEA BED MINERALS (*Paleozoric rock phosphate)

*Sedimentary rock phosphate  (calcium phosphate)

WHAT IT DOES:
By offering growing plants a constant, non-leachable source of phosphorus and calcium Sea Bed Mineral (*Paleozoric rock phosphate) spells lush and greener growth. Sea Bed Mineral (*Paleozoric rock phosphate) also stimulates strong root formation, hastens crop maturity and encourages earthworms and soil bacteria. Since phosphorus is lacking in most soils, additional applications are a must for maximum results.

In this age of the atom, it should not be hard for us to visualize our soil as matter made up of millions upon millions of atoms of different elements such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium, etc. Thus, we can speak and think as do the scientists of atoms of plant food, just as we do of pounds of plant food and soil conditioners, The only difference is in the quantity, quality and the particle size.

An atom which   bears an   electrical   charge, either   positive  or negative, is called an ion. The
swapping, or exchanging, between the soil and the plant root, of ions of plant food in the soil for ions of hydrogen (acid) given off by the plant's root, is called ionic exchange and it is through this exchange that insoluble elements, such as the phosphorus in our Sea Bed  Mineral (*Paleozoric rock phosphate) , are made available as food to plants.

BENTONITE / MONTMORILLONITE   (Colloidal Clay)

Bentonite - Montmorillonite is a so-called triple-layer clay mineral. Because of their disc-shaped crystal structure these triple-layer clay minerals have a very high specific surface (600-800m²/gram) with the ability to store water molecules and nutrients ions on their surface.                                                                                                                                       A soil's ability to retain water (particularly in sandy soil and especially with strong solar radiation) significantly increases when a triple-layer clay mineral is added, so the water stored in the soil is available to the plants over a longer period of time. Another important characteristic of these clay minerals is their high capacity for ion exchange. So-called "crystal mistakes" cause the clay minerals to be negatively charged, which is why they can bind nutrient ions such as potassium, ammonia, calcium and magnesium. A specialty of this bonded nutrients are largely protected against being washed out, but can be absorbed by the plants.

EXPANDED SHALE, TruGro^® expanded shale soil amendment has certain chemical and physical properties that make it an excellent plant growing media. Its primary function is to provide physical strength and resistance to deformation.                      

TruGro^® is chemically inert and completely inorganic. As a result, it will not compress, decompose or react with other agricultural or horticultural chemicals. It will not sink or float out of a blended medium, meaning it can provide superior aeration when used in soil mixes, especially if compaction is required. Unlike  gravel and sand, expanded shale is able to absorb and release water and nutrients, which may increase the nutrient protection capacity of a highly porous growing medium.

TruGro^® is only 1/3 to 1/2 the weight of regular rock or sand making it easier to transport and install,  but it is heavy enough to resist  being washed or  blown away  under normal weather conditions.                                                                                                                            

Using TruGro^® as an alternative to other paving systems enables turf establishment with load carrying capacity and minimal maintenance. Most area gardeners know that the heavy, sticky clay we call soil needs to be amended before you plant a new bed. Most also probably know the value of adding such amendments as compost. Expanded shale, a gravel-size rock, helps make clay soil easier to work and improves drainage. More good news: You only add it to the soil once.

Plant roots don't get enough oxygen in clay soils. Raised beds, compost, and other amendments help, expanded shale is a permanent solution. Plants create larger, healthier root systems with expanded shale and it also holds valuable nutrients for the plants. How do you know if you need expanded shale? In summer, if the soil gets big cracks when dry, you definitely need expanded shale.                       Application Recommendations:
•Till in 3 inches of expanded shale, 6 to 8 inches deep.
•Till in 3 inches of compost. Make sure the compost is "finished" – no green material.
•Mix the expanded shale, compost and soil thoroughly.
•Cover with a 3-inch layer of mulch.

If you till expanded shale and compost into clay soil, then mulch, you should never need to add commercial fertilizer. As fully finished mulch breaks down, it acts as a slow-release fertilizer.

The mulch will gradually break down and work its way into the soil. A year after preparing the bed, lay enough mulch on top to bring the mulch layer up to 3 inches. In subsequent years, the mulch breaks down faster, and you will add mulch in spring and fall to bring the mulch depth to 3 inches. After this very little compost or commercial fertilizer, will ever be necessary.
