This fine, granular material is derived from ancient marine deposits and provides sustainable, long-lasting benefits to your plants. It is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking to improve soil quality and promote healthier, more vibrant crops.
Key Features:
Potassium-Rich: Greensand is an excellent source of potassium (K), a vital nutrient that supports plant development, fruit quality, and disease resistance.
Trace Minerals: In addition to potassium, Greensand contains a variety of trace minerals such as iron, manganese, and magnesium, which are crucial for plant growth and overall health.
Natural Origin: This product is mined from ancient sea deposits, ensuring its organic and natural origin.
Slow-Release: The nutrients in Greensand are slowly released into the soil, providing a consistent and steady supply to your plants over time.
Soil Conditioning: In addition to its nutrient content, Greensand can help improve soil structure, aeration, and water retention.
Benefits:
Enhanced Flowering and Fruiting: The potassium content in Greensand contributes to better fruit quality and increased flowering, which can lead to higher yields in your garden.
Nutrient Diversity: The presence of multiple trace minerals improves plant vigor and helps prevent nutrient deficiencies.
Sustainable Gardening: Gaia Green's commitment to organic and sustainable gardening practices means that Greensand is an environmentally friendly choice for conscientious gardeners.
Improved Soil Health: Greensand not only provides nutrients but also contributes to long-term soil health by enhancing its structure and nutrient-holding capacity.
Applications:
Vegetable Gardens: Apply Greensand to enrich the soil with potassium and trace minerals, supporting the growth of healthy and nutritious vegetables.
Fruit Trees: Promote fruit development and overall tree health by incorporating Greensand into the soil around the root zone.
Flower Beds: Enhance the vibrancy of flowers and improve their resilience to stress factors with the slow-release nutrients of Greensand.
All-Purpose Gardening: Greensand is versatile and suitable for a wide range of plants, making it an essential component for all types of gardening.
Use Instructions:
Before planting or during the growing season, apply Gaia Green Greensand to the soil. For established plants, spread the granules evenly around the base of the plant.
Recommended application rates may vary based on the type of plant and its specific nutrient requirements. As a general guideline, apply 100-200 g (3.5-7 oz) per square meter (10.76 square feet) of planting area.
Ensure the product is well-mixed into the soil or growing medium, and water the area thoroughly to activate the slow-release nutrients.
Note: For precise application recommendations, refer to the product label or seek guidance from your local gardening expert.
Gaia Green Greensand is an eco-friendly, natural fertilizer that enriches your soil with essential potassium and trace minerals, benefiting your garden's overall health and productivity. Whether you're growing vegetables, fruit trees, or flowers, this product is an excellent choice for gardeners aiming to enhance plant growth and promote sustainable gardening practices.

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.
