SoilRox™ Soil Amendment (Blender • SF)

Pumice stones sized between 3/8 and 1/8 inches (average) with some fines. The pumice fines function to further enhance moisture and nutrient retention on a micro level at a more complete in-soil dispersion rate while the larger stones enhance the aeration profile and faciliate drainage—especially important when growing in containers.  

Typical Applications: General purpose soil conditioning for potted plants, hanging flower baskets, grow boxes, greenhouse beds, flower beds, and garden plots. Used in lightweight soil and soilless blends engineered for roof gardens and container plantings where soil weight/load is an issue. Also used in container soil blends where a more thorough size-range dispersion of pumice is desired. For landscaping/greenscaping applications, is used to amend native soils with some clay and silt content.

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.
