Gaia Green Greensand Greensand is an iron potassium silicate containing 7% potassium (K2O), 20% iron oxide (FeO2), and as many as thirty (30) other elements.
Greensand loosens hard soils, binds sandy soils, regulates moisture, and assists in the release of other nutrients.
This ancient algae seashore deposit is valued as a slow-release source of potash and other essential minerals.
Greensand can be mixed with Gaia Green Glacial Rock Dust to produce a broader range of nutrients.
