- Gypsum is used to make cement and paint fillers
- It can be easily hydrated and dehydrated making it very versatile
- Gypsum is great in gardening because it reduces the salt content of the soil while also adding other nutrients
Gypsum is an abundant, naturally occurring mineral. In horticulture, gypsum is used as a soil improver, working to improve the drainage and the physical structure of heavy, clay soils. Also, by changing the way a heavy, clay soil behaves, gypsum helps to release nutrients that would otherwise be unavailable to plants. Being water soluble, the effects of gypsum are not lasting and gypsum needs to be reapplied every two to three years Usage: Gypsum can be spread over clay soils, but is more effective if dug into the soil. Spread at a rate of 1 to 2 kg per square metre. This product must be delivered direct to site, additional delivery fees may apply.
