TIPS FOR BETTER GROWTH

use liquid "Gypsum" to improve clay soil CONDITIONS

7/24/2017

Take a look at the problem spots in your lawn and garden:
  • Do you notice areas of standing water?
  • Do you have problems with slow or poor drainage in your yard?
  • Are there areas in your lawn & garden where you see slow or weak plant growth?

Any one of these conditions could be the result of clay soil in your lawn & garden.
When it comes to your lawn and garden, the presence of clay soil can create a number of problems:
​
  1. Clay soil drains slowly. Thus, as the winter snow melts and the spring rains start, the clay soil tends to remain saturated long after average or sandy soils have drained. Wet or saturated soils do not make for a good growing environment long term.
  2. Clay soil is much slower to warm up in the spring. Because of its' density, the clay soil is resistant to the warming effects of the spring sunshine. Colder soil temperatures slow plant growth. Until the soil warms up sufficiently, springtime growth will be slow and difficult.
  3. Clay soil compacts (pushes together or bonds to itself), making it hard for the roots to penetrate. When the root systems can't penetrate, they become "stunted" or stop growing. This is not a healthy growing environment.
  4. Clay soil is alkaline (has a high pH), which is hard on plants.
  5. To top it off, clay soil is very heavy and difficult to work with. And messy!​
SoilLogic's Liquid "Gypsum" product (also sold in some areas as "Liquid Thrive") can help with all of your clay soil problems. While it is not a miracle, it works very quickly. A program of regularly scheduled applications should help improve poor soil conditions within weeks. It is very easy to apply (much easier to use than bags of traditional dry gypsum), and is relatively inexpensive for the job that it does.

Liquid "Gypsum" may be just your answer for reconditioning your soil, because it can be applied on the surface soil in your flowerbeds, vegetable gardens, or on your lawn. This is easily done with the quart (32. Oz.) ready to spray ("RTS") bottle, which covers up to 1,000 sq. ft. SoilLogic offers other sizes of Liquid "Gypsum" for larger yards and repeated applications.

What does Liquid "Gypsum" do? Its' concentrated formula has the ability to penetrate the millions of fine clay particles in heavy or hardpan soils, and help to loosen the structure of the soil. This creates air and moisture space that gradually loosens and breaks open the soil structure, which is what your plants, trees, shrubs and lawn need for better growth.
Please note that Liquid "Gypsum" does not contain any major plant nutrients, so it is still necessary to apply it in conjunction with a regular fertilizing program. However, Liquid "Gypsum" does contain some ingredients that are very good for healthy plant growth.

It is possible that your local garden center may not stock SoilLogic's Liquid "Gypsum" at this time (note: it is sold in some states as "Liquid Thrive"). You can easily purchase it through our online store. We also has special rates on shipping to help save you money.
To recap, SoilLogic's Liquid "Gypsum" (also sold in some areas as "Liquid Thrive") can help solve your common clay soil problems:

  1. Improve drainage
  2. Open up compacted soil
  3. Create a better growing environment for your lawn and garden!

Just ordered your product, and was wondering how much to apply. Do you soak the lawn till it puddles, or is a lighter coverage better? My main problem is with areas along my curb, from road salt.My yard is also fairly "compacted", so I will also be spraying some all over my yard.

Disappointed in results. In fact, saw no change in soil condition after several applications. Won't be repurchasing....

Mr. Henson:

Thank you for you contacting us through this blog post. It is unfortunate that our product did not work for your purpose. You mentioned you several applictions, may I asked how many gallons of the product you purchased from our website and under what company name? The reason for the question is because we tried looking for your name on our order database and we couldn't find any. Just curious as to how and where you purchased the product from. Thank you again and In the future please email us with any issues so that we have an opportunity to work on any product issues that you may have.

I bought it directly through the website. Purchased the 1 gal + applicator bottle package. Might have used Mike instead of Michael when ordering. Don't remember. Doesn't really matter. Won't waste my money again. Thanks for the response, though.
