Description
Description
Naturally occurring in marine sedimentary deposits, Greensand is composed primarily of the blue-green siliceous mineral glauconite. Traditionally used to loosen heavy clay soil or to hold together loose sandy soils, Greensand is able to absorb up to one-third its weight in water to improve the moisture holding capacity of garden soils and potting mixes. Green sand is highly recommended for vegetables, fruits, herbs, lawns, ornamentals and all types of trees and shrubs. Improves moisture holding capacity of garden soils and potting mixes. Apply at 1-2 Tbs/plant pr per gallon of soil, 5-10 lb/100 sq ft, or 500-2000 lb/acre, depending on soil analysis.

How Super Greensand Micronized (44 lb) fits a fertility plan
- Adds a mineral or carbon-rich amendment that can complement, rather than replace, a complete fertility program.
- The listed particle size and package format help match the product to dry blending, incorporation, or labeled liquid use.
- Useful when soil-building goals and test information support adding this specific material instead of more primary N-P-K.
Application guidance: Review the guaranteed analysis and use directions before applying. Mineral amendments may release nutrients slowly, and response depends on soil chemistry, biology, moisture, and particle size. Blend or distribute evenly, control dust, and avoid assuming that more material will correct an unidentified problem.
Compare related soil amendments when building a complete program.

I use this product to amend all my garden beds. I also add this to my seed starting soil mix. The plants love this stuff! Greensand has fantastic water holding capabilities and I find I need to water less often which saves my well pump and pocket book. I have purchased elsewhere in the past but recently found that Peaceful Valley has the best price, in bulk size for convenience, and I feel their product is superior to others. Thank you Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden supply!
There are better greensand products than this one. Plus, this is a Russian product. I prefer Super Greensand
Was glad to see large bags for sale, so I stocked up. Enjoyed very timely shipping, and especially like the durable bags. I’ve only used a small portion of this new “Russian” variety for this years seedling plantings, but the product “looks” good so far. No clumping and the sand itself is very fine, with decent green color. I’ve used greensand for many years, and like how it improves the texture and fertility of the soil in the beds where it has been applied. I also add a few scoops to my seed starting and potting mixes to aid water retention and, again, improve the texture. I think this is a good product, better than recent Texas varieties I’ve tried, but can’t say yet if it rivals the good old “New Jersey” variety which was the best I’ve seen, and which I have missed since the supply dried up the past few years. I have high hopes that this new version will fill that void and so far, so good!
I dig this in around my fruit trees and get bigger fruit with better flavor and color. When I dig it into the garden my onions and garlic have less rust and fungus problems.
GREAT! Just adore it. Was so excited to receive it - could not wait to start using in. I just love that stuff. When I mention it, people look at you funny, like I made it up or something. It is a magnificent product, cannot imagine anyone not understanding its potential and the wonder it performs. Guess they are just so used to regular Miracle Grow it does seem odd to them. NO COMPARISON! I an not suffering insanity but if I had to be buried in something up to my neck - Peat Moss or Green Sand for sure. It comes ready to use, the peat I do screen, have a problem with sticks, I love the soft texture when you are done, just like the sand. Anyway thank you and have a good holiday.
