Diatomaceous Earth Platinium (Křemelina Platinium)
Code: C1DB9G-250Product detailed description
Diatomaceous Earth - Non-Calcinated - 100% Natural
Diatomaceous earth is sourced from natural quarries and is refined through a mechanical process, without any chemical transformation, to produce a very fine sand composed of microscopic algae fossils (diatoms). This sand offers numerous applications and benefits in gardening: diatomaceous earth is also naturally rich in essential elements for proper plant development, such as calcium, magnesium, sulfur, trace elements, and silica. It helps retain moisture and aerates the substrate.
