Greensand, also known as Glauconite, is a mineral mined from natural deposits of glauconite located in the Southern part of New Jersey. These deposits are of marine origin and are composed primarily of iron-potassium silicate, which gives it its bluish green color.Benefits of Greensand:
-All natural source of potassium
-EspomaŽ Greensand contains 6% total potash, an essential nutrient required by plants that contributes to overall hardiness and good health. This potash solubilizes very slowly and therefore is available to plants at relatively small amounts at any one time.
-Loosens clay soils
-The sand-like particle size and rounded shape of greensand helps prevent the interlocking of soil particles and thereby loosens the soil. |
