Gaia Green Greensand, 1.25 kg Pouch

Gentle, Slow-Release Mineral Fertilizer from Ancient Sediment

Gaia Green Greensand is mined from ancient, nutrient-rich deposits of oceanic sediment that, over time, developed into glauconite — a mineral highly effective as a slow-release fertilizer.

Because it releases gradually, greensand is gentle on plants and will not cause root burn, making it a forgiving choice for improving the mineral content of soil and other growing media across a wide range of settings.
