Soil Perfecter From Espoma
Used to Improve Soil Structure
One application of Soil Perfecter permanently improves the structure of any soil. Soil Perfecter is made from a naturally derived, ceramic mineral that is kiln-fired at temperatures in excess of 2000º F. This process creates a durable, lightweight granule containing thousands of tiny storage spaces that hold the perfect balance of water, air and nutrients for an improved soil structure.
Directions
Preparing Flower & Vegetable Beds:
One 27 lb. bag covers 10 sq. ft. Spread a 1 inch layer of Soil Perfector across the entire bed (2 inch layer for severely compacted soils). Work into the top 6 inches of soil with a shovel or rake.
New Individual Plants:
Dig a hole at least twice the diameter and slightly less deep than the root ball of the plant. Mix 1 part Soil Perfector to 3 parts removed soil. Follow planting directions and water thoroughly.
Existing Plants:
Using a spading fork around the drip line of the plant, rock and twist the fork to open cracks and crevices as deeply as possible. Fill the cracks with Soil Perfector. For large trees, dig narrow trenches 18 to 24 inches deep starting between the trunk and the dripline and extending out into the surrounding soil. Dig at least 5 trenches in a wheel spoke pattern. Fill the trenches with Soil Perfector.
