Pumice | Organic Soil Amendment for Enhanced Drainage & Aeration
Improve soil drainage and aeration with our premium organic pumice. This product is ideal for enhancing soil structure and fostering healthy plant growth.
What is Pumice?
Pumice is a lightweight volcanic stone material characterized by its porous nature. Unlike other soil amendments, pumice does not decompose or compact over time, which helps to preserve the integrity of the soil structure. It functions by absorbing and retaining moisture while allowing excess water to drain through the mix effectively. Pumice serves as an excellent alternative to perlite.
Benefits of Pumice
Pumice enhances drainage in garden beds. It prevents soil from becoming waterlogged, thereby protecting root systems from rot during wet conditions. This natural, unprocessed organic product is sourced from mines and effectively retains moisture.
How to Use Pumice
To utilize pumice, amend your soil with 50% pumice, or incorporate it into the planting hole so that the roots are enveloped by it. Pumice can also be used as a topdressing to absorb excess rainwater that collects around plants.
