Who Should Use AZOMITE Slow Release Powder

AZOMITE Slow Release Powder suits growers who formulate their own fertilizer blends, potting mixes, or compost recipes and want to include a broad-spectrum trace mineral source. It is also suitable for growers who prefer a fine-particle AZOMITE product that can be incorporated directly into soil or growing media without the coarser texture of the granulated form.

Particle Size and Blending Applications

AZOMITE Slow Release Powder contains particles ranging from 4 to 200 mesh, a range that accommodates thorough blending with dry fertilizers, amendments, and potting media. It can be mixed into custom fertilizer blends, incorporated into potting mixes, or added to compost piles to contribute trace mineral diversity. The fine particle size also makes it suitable for direct soil incorporation where thorough mixing is possible.
