Greensand Plus 0-0-17

Description
A naturally-occurring iron-potassium silicate (also known as glauconite) with the consistency of sand but 10 times the moisture absorption. Mixed with natural sulfate of potash. Ideal where soil tests show an immediate need for potassium.

How it works
For most part unexplainable. However, numerous trials show product is effective. One possible explanation is mineralization, which improves soil life by increasing populations of certain bacteria that slowly dissolve insoluble mineral nutrients.

General usage
An exceptional soil conditioner for pastures, forage fields, lawns, orchards, small fruits, vegetables, and greenhouse potting mixes.

Directions for use
To correct potassium deficiency, use soil test to determine application rate, then apply 20-100 lbs per 1,000 sq.ft., depending on extent of deficiency.

Application rates
Applications of Greensand Plus should be based on the results of a soil test. If the amount of potash needed in pounds per acre or per 1,000 sq.ft) is known, divide the amount of potash needed by 0.17. The answer will be the amount of Greensand Plus you need to apply.
