Diatomaceous Earth – Non-calcined – 100% natural
Diatomaceous earth is extracted from natural quarries and refined by mechanical process, without any chemical transformation, to obtain a very fine sand, composed of microscopic algae fossils (diatoms). The sand thus obtained offers multiple applications and benefits in the garden.
Diatomaceous earth is naturally rich in elements essential to the proper development of plants: calcium, magnesium, sulfur and trace elements and silica. Retains moisture and aerates the substrate.

How to use diatomaceous earth for your indoor culture
Indication of use :
Diatomaceous earth is used in mixture with other substrates (potting soil, coco, …) or in direct dispersion on the soil around the plants. The use of a blower is recommended for a better dispersion. For plants in the ground and plants in pots.
In mixture: 5-20% of the volume of substrate (density: 400g/L)
In dispersion: 20-50g per plant (young plant)
50-100g per plant (established plant).
50-100g per m² (vegetable garden).
Dosage to be modulated according to the size of the plant and its stage of growth.
Apply preferably on dry soil and renew the application after washing (rain/watering).
