5-Pound Azomite® Powder Fertilizer, 0-0-0.2, For Use In Organic Gardening

NPK ratio: Nitrogen: 0; Phosphate: 0; Potash: 0.2

Down To Earth®’s AZOMITE® is a natural mineral product mined in central Utah. This unique deposit was formed when an ancient volcano erupted and its ash settled into a prehistoric seabed creating a complex mineral composition. AZOMITE® can improve plant and root system growth, crop yields, and quality as well as re-mineralize nutrient depleted soils.

This powder grade is ideal for blending with other fertilizer materials or amendments as a trace mineral resource to help meet plant nutritional needs. It can be applied directly or in combination with composts, fertilizers, manures or soil inoculants.
