Benefits of Garden Gypsum:

• educes Soil Compaction: Especially beneficial for heavy clay soils, gypsum helps break up compacted soil, improving drainage and aeration.
• Improves Drainage: By improving soil structure, gypsum allows water to penetrate the soil more effectively, preventing waterlogging and promoting healthier root growth.
• Rehabilitates Alkaline, Sodic, and Saline Soils: Gypsum helps to neutralize alkaline soils and can help remediate soils affected by excess sodium or salt.
• Provides Calcium and Sulfur: These essential nutrients are vital for plant growth and overall soil health. Calcium helps with cell wall development, while sulfur is important for protein synthesis.
• Neutral pH: Gypsum has a neutral pH and will not affect the acidity of your soil.

Application Instructions:

For best results, it is recommended to perform a soil test before applying gypsum. This will help determine the specific needs of your soil and guide application rates. If a soil test is not available, follow the general guidelines below:

• Lawns: Apply 5-10 lbs per 100 square feet in the spring. Water thoroughly after application. Annual applications are recommended, and results may be enhanced if applied after aerating the lawn.
• Vegetable Gardens & Flower Beds: For new gardens, apply 2.5-5 lbs per 100 square feet. Distribute evenly over the soil surface by hand or with a spreader.
• Trees & Shrubs: Spread 1 lb of gypsum per 1 inch of trunk diameter around the base of the plant, extending outwards to the drip line. Water in thoroughly.
