Our powdered sea shell granules, sourced from natural North Sea deposits, offer a 100% organic solution rich in calcium carbonate and essential trace minerals. This versatile product gently corrects soil pH, enhances structure, and supports long-term soil health.

Why Choose Sea Shell Granules?

  • Immediate pH Correction: Quickly neutralises acidic soils to create an optimal growing environment. Ideal for crops requiring a balanced pH from the outset.

  • Long-Term pH Regulation: Gradually stabilises soil pH over three years, reducing the need for frequent applications. Ensures consistent soil conditions for sustained plant health.

  • Rich Calcium Source: Provides 36.8% calcium to strengthen plant cell walls and boost growth. Essential for preventing deficiencies in calcium-demanding crops.

  • High in Trace Minerals: Contains vital minerals like magnesium, iron, and cobalt for robust plant development. Enhances nutrient uptake for healthier, more resilient crops.

  • Improved Soil Structure: Enhances soil texture, promoting better aeration and drainage. Creates a friable medium that supports strong root systems.

  • Reduced Nutrient Leaching: Binds nutrients in the soil, minimising loss during heavy rain. Helps maintain fertility in high-rainfall areas.

  • Ideal for No-Till Systems: Perfectly suited for liming no-till soils without disrupting soil layers. Supports sustainable farming practices with minimal intervention.

  • Increased Water Retention: Boosts soil’s water-holding capacity, reducing irrigation needs. Particularly beneficial in sandy or free-draining soils.

  • Organic and Sustainable: Derived from natural, renewable North Sea deposits with no synthetic additives. Environmentally friendly and safe for organic gardening.

  • Versatile Application: Suitable for top dressing or soil amendment, adaptable to various gardening needs. Easy to apply for both professional and home growers.
