Environmentally Safe Soil Conditioner
Liquid Gypsum is a faster, longer lasting way to soften your hard soil, break up clay, and remove the salts from your plant root zones. Product can be applied to all turf grasses and landscapes to promote healthy green growth. Use Liquid Gypsum as a soil treatment before putting down grass seed, laying sod, or planting trees, flowers, and shrubs.
Liquid Gypsum is formulated from calcium chloride, surfactants, penetrants, humectants, and a water soluble polyacrylamide, also known as PAM, that work together in a syncronized manner to create a unique soil conditioner that helps to prevent erosion as well as water run off on your slopes and hillsides.
Benefits of the Liquid Gypsum Soil Conditioner:
- Softens hard and clay soils
- Removes damaging salts
- Improves poor drainage
- Roots grow deep and healthy
- Environmentally safe
- Apply monthly for 6-12 months
- No tilling required
- Easy to apply water soluble formula
- Non toxic
- Safe for use on all grasses, plants, trees, and orchards
Liquid Gypsum can be applied at anytime of the year as long as the ground is not frozen, but it is particularly effective in the spring, summer and fall months. Liquid Gypsum is compatible with liquid nitrogen fertilizers, you may apply product before or after an application of fertilizer.
Additional Benefits:
- Liquid "Gypsum" reacts with clay in soil to improve water penetration and reduce run-off. A larger percentage of rain water will penetrate the soil surface when it is treated with Liquid "Gypsum".
- Roots grow deeper into soil treated with Liquid "Gypsum" due to the creation of stable soil particles. The spaces between these soil particles (aggregates) are called pore spaces which store water, nutrients, and air. Roots move easily through these pore spaces.
- A crumbly soil mulch, much like large grains of sand, become visible after the use of Liquid "Gypsum" and acts like other mulches to retain soil moisture below the surface.
- Turf and other ground-covers grown in soil treated with Liquid "Gypsum" are less likely to form thatch. Roots growing above hard, compacted soil tend to create thatch because it is easier than trying to penetrate such hard soil. Improved pore structure in Liquid "Gypsum" treated soil allows roots to penetrate the soil much easier.
- Seedling emergence is much easier in soil treated with Liquid "Gypsum".
- Treating soil and plant material already planted on slopes will permit applied water to penetrate the soil surface much easier eliminating most water runoff.
- Where salts are a soil problem (saline) treatment of the soil with Liquid "Gypsum" will improve the ability of the soil to be irrigated to carry away (leach) salts away from the root zone.
- Use of Liquid "Gypsum" makes it possible to more easily use reclaimed water for landscape irrigation without it causing compaction of clay soil. Damage to plant leaves from the salts in reclaimed water is also reduced.
