Description
Down To Earth Langbeinite is a naturally sourced and organic mineral fertilizer that provides an excellent source of three essential plant nutrients: potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S). This unique combination makes it an ideal choice for enhancing the nutrient content of your garden’s soil and supporting robust plant growth. Derived from langbeinite ore deposits, this product is a valuable addition to the toolkit of organic gardeners and sustainable agriculture enthusiasts.
Key Features:
1. Balanced Nutrient Content: Langbeinite contains a well-balanced mixture of potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S), all of which are vital for plant growth, development, and fruit production.
2. Organic and Natural: Down To Earth Langbeinite is an all-natural and organic fertilizer, making it suitable for organic farming practices and environmentally conscious gardening.
3. Slow-Release: It provides a slow-release nutrient supply to plants, ensuring that essential elements are available over an extended period.
4. Promotes Flowering and Fruiting: The high potassium content in langbeinite aids in flower and fruit formation, making it especially beneficial for fruit-bearing plants and flowering crops.
5. Enhances Soil Fertility: When used regularly, it contributes to improved soil structure and fertility by adding essential minerals.
6. OMRI Listed: This product is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) and meets organic gardening standards.
Benefits:
• Potassium Source: Potassium is crucial for overall plant health, root development, and the production of fruits and seeds. Langbeinite provides a natural and sustainable source of potassium.
• Magnesium for Photosynthesis: Magnesium is an essential component of chlorophyll, the pigment that allows plants to capture energy from sunlight. It aids in photosynthesis and overall plant vitality.
• Sulfur for Protein Synthesis: Sulfur is essential for protein production in plants and plays a role in enzyme functions. It is vital for overall plant metabolism.
• Improved Fruit Quality: The balanced nutrient composition of langbeinite results in improved fruit quality and taste.
• Soil Enhancement: Over time, its use enhances soil fertility and nutrient availability to plants, promoting healthy growth and high yields.
Applications:
Down To Earth Langbeinite is suitable for various gardening applications, including:
• Fruit Trees: Ideal for fruit trees such as apples, peaches, and citrus, as it promotes fruit development and quality.
• Vegetable Gardens: Enhances the growth of vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers.
Flower Beds: Benefits flowering plants and ornamentals, supporting lush blooms and strong stems.
• Greenhouses: Langbeinite can be used in greenhouse settings to supplement nutrient levels in potted plants.
• Sustainable Agriculture: A favored choice for organic and sustainable farming practices.
Usage Instructions:
• Pre-Planting: Incorporate langbeinite into the soil before planting by adding 1-2 pounds per 100 square feet and mixing thoroughly.
• Established Plants: For existing plants, apply 1-2 tablespoons around the base of the plant and work it into the soil.
• Frequency: Apply langbeinite every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. It’s particularly beneficial during the flowering and fruiting stages of plants.
• Watering: After application, water the area to facilitate nutrient absorption.
• For precise application rates, consider conducting a soil test to tailor langbeinite usage to your soil’s specific nutrient requirements.
Down To Earth Langbeinite is a versatile and eco-friendly fertilizer that provides the essential nutrients plants need for optimal growth and productivity. It’s an excellent choice for gardeners and farmers looking to enhance both plant health and soil quality while adhering to organic gardening principles.

INFORMATION QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil. The plants thrive on the nutrient-water solution alone. The growing medium merely acts as a support for the plants and their root systems while the solution passes freely. The growing medium, if any, is totally inert.
What types of plants grow best hydroponically?
Anything can be grown hydroponically, but some plants prove to be more space efficient. Some plants we suggest are tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot chilies, lettuce, spinach, squash, cucumbers, broccoli, beans, snow peas, herbs and flowers of all types.
Can you REALLY get better yields/quicker growth?
Absolutely. The plants, when receiving everything they need, tend to be healthier, faster growing and generally more productive. You can expect 30% faster growth with many crops.
What are the watering cycle timelines hydroponic systems?
Once the reservoir is filled with nutrients, it is time to put your hydro system to work! The ease of hydroponics is automation – automation is achieved by putting the pump on a timer according to your watering needs. The watering cycle depends on growth stage, growing medium and hydroponic system. In an ebb and flow or drip system with rockwool as the medium, seedlings, clones and plants in the early vegetative stage require watering only once a day for 15-30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Mature, flowering and fruiting plants require a heavier feed and can be fed once a day for 30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Typically soiless mixes and coco fiber can be watered for about 15 minutes twice a day, and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. ViaStone, Hydroton, Grow Rocks, and Silicate mediums need to be watered more frequently – a constant drip for drip systems, and about 15-30 minutes every 3 hours for ebb and flow systems and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. Aeroponic systems require frequent watering cycles; 30-60 seconds every few minutes or a constant spray.
What do I need to test pH? How do I test pH?
pH has a range from 0 (acidic) – 14 (alkaline), with 7 being neutral. A proper hydroponic pH range is between 5.5 to 6.2 for most hydroponic crops. For specific crop pH, check out our Plant Guide. pH must remain within the proper range for good plant health, disease resistance, and proper nutrient uptake. pH is maintained by adding pH Up and pH Down to the nutrient solution. For more information, see the Testssection of our site.
How will the flavor compare to my outdoor grown, organic produce?
The taste may be even better! This is simply due to the fact that the hydroponically grown plants are getting everything they need, when they need it. Don’t be fooled by “hot house” produce grown commercially. The grower’s primary concern is shipability and storage, not flavor. When you grow your own vegetables at home, you can expect nothing less than excellent results. Plus, hydroponically grown produce has the added benefit of a longer shelf life.
