Soil Amendments

Soil amendments are mixed with soil to improve its physical properties. The ceramic soil amendments manufactured by SMI member companies are blended into any soil to provide the ideal balance of oxygen and water-holding pore space—storing water, oxygen and nutrients for healthy, beautiful plants. Soil conditioners can loosen and aerate heavy clay soil and improve water retention in sandy soil. Ceramic soil amendments may be used on anything that grows; from vegetable and flower beds to water gardens and ponds; from containers and hanging baskets to bulbs, shrubs, trees, and lawns.

These soil conditioners are used throughout the world and can be found at places like Disney World, the Space Station, on the grounds of the Washington Monument and in thousands of home gardens.

SMI member companies work with industry leaders like Home Depot, Wal-Mart and Lowes to provide a full line of soil conditioners designed to improve any soil.
