With the addition of as little as 10% pumice in potting media and garden soils you will experience the following advantages:

- Increases bulk density of potting mixes.

- The porous nature of pumice allows it to hold vital nutrients in the microscopic surface pores, which helps regulate fertilizer feedings. It can even be supercharged with nutrients before it is added to the growing medium.

- Excellent conditioner for soils that need increased aeration and drainage.

- Loosens the density of heavy clay garden soils, letting in the air and water plants need.

- Holds moisture in the soil, reducing watering requirements by as much as 35%.

- Pumice is inorganic, so it will not decompose or compact over time, meaning it functions continuously and can be recycled and reused.

- Does not attract or host fungi, nematodes, or insects.

- Pumice is pH neutral.

Lawn and Turf management. Used both in preparing a quality seed bed for new turf areas as well as a top dressing after aerification on heavily-trafficked lawns or greens to restore or maintain proper soil structure.

Mulches. Coarse-grind pumice makes an excellent and attractive mulch for flower and shrubbery beds. The soil beneath the mulch stays moist longer and is less likely to compact from watering. Weed problems are minimized with a couple of inches of pumice mulch. It does not break down, so does not need to be replaced. Our white pumice can also be color-dyed if necessary.

Composting.   Pumice is a great bedding additive to your worm composter. It adds additional air space, prevents matting, and helps to control moisture
