SoilRox™ Soil Amendment (Amender • XF)

SoilRox Amender • XF opens up pore spaces to greatly improve drainage and aeration (gas exchange) in the root zone, with the extensive fines providing widely-dispersed soil conditioning—capturing, holding and time-releasing moisture and nutrients back to the roots. This elemental restructuring of the soil profile is permanent—SoilRox is inorganic and will not break down over time. This is especially welcome in long-term landscaped/greenscaped areas like lawns and ground-cover features. Used to amend expansive areas containing poor native soils. Properly portioned and blended, this SoilRox amender grade reduces or eliminates the need for tilling, as the pumice provides elemental tilth, friability, drainage, and compaction resistance.

Typical Homeowner Applications: Turf lawns, landscaped ground covers, (including ornamental grasses and shrubbery) large garden plots, berry plots, in-ground green house beds (especially for root crops), perennial flower and/or herb gardens.

Typical Commercial Applications: Turf for parks and athletic fields, high-value crop fields, mining and construction restoration/reclamation projects, wetland builds, biofiltration systems, ecology embankments and other runoff control and filtration constructs.

About Pumice: Pumice is literally a foamed stone, formed in the awesome heat and violence of a volcano. Pumice stones—including the tiny fines—are riven with nooks and crannies and pockets that hold moisture and nutrients in the root zone and make them available to the root systems over a longer period of time. As a soil amendment, pumice also provides elemental tilth—opening dense, heavy soils to enhance critical gas exchange in the root zone.
