54055006 Pelletized Gypsum Soil Conditioner, 40 Lb.
Description
Soil Doctor Pelletized Gypsum Soil Conditioner is a 100% natural soil amendment designed to improve soil structure and plant health in gardens and lawns. This pelletized gypsum loosens heavy clay soils, enhancing water drainage and root penetration while adding essential nutrients that support vegetable and ornamental plant growth.
The product addresses multiple soil challenges, including compacted clay, salt damage from de-icing salts and irrigation water, and nutrient deficiencies. Its pellet form makes it easy to apply by hand or with a standard lawn spreader, and it does not require working into the soil—simply spread on the surface and water to dissolve the pellets quickly.
