Trial DCM VOLCANIC LAVA GRANULES 0-3 mm: too wet or too heavy soil ?

Clay soils have a very dense, compact structure and contain few pores and little air. After a rain shower, these soils retain water on the surface, which causes puddles. On the other hand, if a clay soil dries out, it becomes very hard, making the treatment of clay soils much more difficult.

Problems that can arise in heavy soils:

• Poor water penetration
• Poor water distribution
• Insufficient oxygen levels
• Poor plant growth
• Puddle formation

DCM KLEIGRONDVERBETERAAR LAVA (CLAY SOIL IMPROVER) is the solution. This specific lava fraction, 0-3 mm type ‘grey’, has a proven unique effect:

• hard but porous granules, rich in air pores (total pore volume TPV = 40 ml/100 ml)
• improves the air-water ratio, allowing excess rainwater to drain more quickly and improving the stability of the top layerremains in the top layer for several yearsfor better rooting and plant growth
