Contaminants in Soil - Excess Sodium

Roots bathing in too much sodium will kill plants!

Soil compaction can occur when there are contaminants in soil such as excess sodium. Water and air cannot flow freely in compacted soil. In addition, sodium creates a condition similar to high blood pressure leading to dehydration. The result is unhealthy and wilted plants.

The compost base of the EW4H Replenish For Your Lawn and Replenish For Your Gardens organic based fertilizers are perfect for maintenance. These products will provide the ideal rate of elements and nutrients needed by the soil and the plant.
