2 kg Nursery/Garden Grade Diatomaceous Earth (Fine-8mm)

As the heaviest grade of DE, Nursery/Garden Grade DE has the most coarse texture and chunks which are perfect for holding lots of water.
 
The beneficial effects of DE have been shown to have a direct effect on crop productivity, improving soil fertility, increasing plant health and reducing water requirements resulting in improved resistance to disease, insect attack and drought. 
 
In addition to this DE will assist plant absorption of other applied fertilisers and soil nutrients resulting in the reduced application of fertilisers (such as Phosphors) and chemicals.
 
​Adding Nursery/Garden Grade DE will:
Increase crop productivity
Improve soil fertility
Increase plant health
Reduce water requirements
Enhance other applied fertilisers' efficiency
 
​Resulting in​:
Stronger plant cells and structure
Improved resistance to disease and fungi
Improved resistance to insect attack
Increased drought tolerance and reduced irrigation requirements
Increased salt tolerance
Reduced chemical and fertilizer costs
 
​ DE has a high content of plant-available silica and a range of desirable trace elements – overall you can expect a noticeable improvement in plant health and a reduction in spending on crop inputs.
 
DE can be applied just like any other soil conditioner using standard application equipment. Apply DE as a dusting, during planting or whatever method suits your farming method. DE is used in many industries including farming, landscape gardening, home gardening, golf courses, sports fields, and many more.
