Greek zeolite, 1 to 2.5 millimetres – fine gravel, ideal for use in small-scale cultivation and in medium to heavy soils – 500 grams

Description

Greek zeolite, 1 to 2.5 millimetres – Fine gravel, ideal grain size for use in small-scale crops such as vineyards and shrubbery. At home, it can be used in vegetable gardens, trellises, gardens, lawns, pots and planters, and generally in soil with a medium to heavy texture. In industry, it is used for environmental cleaning and management. Pack size: 500 grams.

Applications

In agriculture

Zeolite is usually applied by incorporating it into the soil at rates of 300 to 450 kilograms per stremma, depending on the soil type and its particle size distribution (particle size distribution).

See below for the recommended dosage based on soil composition and the size of the crop

Small-scale crops (vegetable gardens, vineyards, gardens, lawns, pots and planters, and other small-scale crops)

• Light soil
  • Greek zeolite up to 1 millimetre (without incorporation)
  • Greek zeolite from 0 to 2.5 millimetres
• Medium soil:
  • Greek zeolite from 0 to 2.5 millimetres
• Heavy soil:
  • Greek zeolite, 1 to 2.5 millimetres

Large-scale crops (trees, maize, cotton and other large-scale crops)

• Light soil
  • Greek zeolite up to 1 millimetre (without incorporation)
  • Greek zeolite from 0 to 2.5 millimetres
• Medium-textured soil:
  • Greek zeolite from 1 to 2.5 millimetres
• Heavy soil:
  • Greek zeolite, 2.5 to 5 millimetres

A total quantity of 300 to 450 kilograms per stremma is required to maximise its contribution to increasing yields. Its beneficial effect is long-lasting because zeolite does not break down like other materials.

Domestic use of zeolite

Natural Greek zeolite, measuring 1 to 2.5 millimetres – fine gravel – is environmentally friendly and widely used in gardening and organic farming. It is applied by mixing it into the soil in pots and planters, vegetable patches, lawns, trellises and trees. It acts as a molecular filter and manages the soil’s nutrients and water, balancing the pH. At the same time, it cleanses the soil of heavy metals, toxins and free radicals. This increases both the yield and the quality of the produce. The results are permanent, as zeolite does not degrade, decompose or change in composition.

Instructions for use

Vegetable garden: Spread 5 kg over an area of 30 to 50 square metres and mix it into the soil to a depth of up to 30 centimetres. Repeat the process for a further 2 consecutive years.

Lawn: Spread 5 kg over an area of 50 square metres and water.

Pots & Planters: Replace the soil with a mixture of new soil and zeolite in the following ratio by weight: 90 per cent soil – 10 per cent zeolite.

Vines: Spread 380 grams over the entire area within a half-metre radius around each root and mix in to a depth of up to 20 centimetres. Repeat the process for a further 2 consecutive years.

Trees: Spread 5 kg over the entire area within a radius of half a metre around the trunk of a tree and work it into the soil to a depth of up to 20 centimetres. Repeat the process for a further 2 consecutive years.
