Castle Mountain Zeolite is a storehouse for plant nutrients and water. It not only is odourless but absorbs odours from the environment. This characteristic makes it invaluable when mixed with all types of animal manure. Not only does it reduce odour but it takes up the plant nutrients from the manure and slowly releases them as plants need them. Animal manure not treated with zeolites will volatilise most of the nitrogen as ammonia gas over time.

Castle Mountain sand sized zeolites have excellent wetability and are ideal for lawns, gardens and pots. Castle Mountain Zeolites refill with water year after year as they are inert and do not degrade in the environment, as do synthetic crystals.

The application efficiency of artificial fertilisers such as Sulphate of Ammonia can be improved by the addition of Castle Mountain Zeolite, as this will prevent ammonia losses to the atmosphere during spreading and incorporation.

Castle Mountain Zeolites are a storehouse for nitrate, phosphate and potassium nutrients which are the major plant nutrients.

Minor elements like zinc are also accommodated.
