FAST ACTING GYPSUM 3.25lb

Break up tough, compacted clay soil and improve drainage—without changing the soil's pH! Unlike lime, Gypsum provides essential Calcium and Sulfur to your soil, which causes clay particles to clump together (flocculation), creating air spaces. This instantly improves soil structure, allowing water, nutrients, and roots to penetrate deeper.

• Best For:
  • Clay Soil: Improving drainage and aeration in heavy, slow-draining planting beds and lawns.
  • Water Penetration: Treating areas where water tends to puddle or run off.
  • Salty Soils: Helping flush out excess sodium and reducing the buildup of salt from hard water or synthetic fertilizers.
  • Calcium Boost: Providing calcium to lawns and vegetables without raising the soil pH.
• Key Actionable Steps:
  • How to Apply (Lawn/Beds): Apply granules evenly over the area using a broadcast or drop spreader. A general application rate is 5 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. (always check the label for specific rates).
  • Activation: The "Fast Acting" formulation means the granules break down quickly. Water thoroughly after application to start the dissolving process and move the gypsum into the soil profile.
  • Soil Amendment: Work into the top 6-8 inches of soil when establishing new garden beds or planting shrubs.
  • Pro Tip: This product is neutral and will not significantly affect the acidity of your soil, making it safe for acid-loving plants (like blueberries and azaleas) that suffer from heavy clay.
