Platinium - Diatomaceous Earth - 250g

DIATOMACEOUS EARTH BY PLATINIUM

Diatomaceous Earth - Non-calcined - 100% natural

Diatomaceous earth is extracted from natural quarries and refined by a 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 for 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 leaching (rain/watering).

Precautions for use:
Wearing gloves (polyurethane-coated nylon) advised in case of simple handling.
Wear gloves, goggles and respiratory mask (type FFP2 or FFP3) if used for a long time.
For indoor use, provide adequate ventilation.

UAB Usable in Organic Agriculture (in accordance with the EC regulation n°834/200 of June 28, 2007).
