Ash and silts provide the same array of nutrients and
micro-nutrients for plants as the clays do, but without the binder
properties of clay. This organic soil amendment just did not get the
pressure-cooker treatment to convert this to clay.
Our ashen silt has been tested and tried. We have analytical lab reports similar to our bentonite reports showing the mineral, nutrient and micronutrient content.
Here is a Trace Mineral analysis for this resource:
Calcium and iron are essential for strong plants. Strong plants are more pest and disease resistant. Our ashen silt has good levels of bio-available calcium and iron.
The array of major, minor and trace minerals in our clay and ashen silt provides the necessary nutrients for all plants, throughout their growing cycle.
