## Overview

Elixir Gardens Gypsum is a natural, agricultural-grade soil improver designed to break up heavy clay and compacted soils by binding fine particles into larger aggregates. This enhances water penetration, root growth, and nutrient uptake while reducing soil salinity, making it ideal for gardens, lawns, and landscaping projects. Its slow-release formula and wind-resistant granules ensure effective, year-round application, delivering healthier, more workable soil for professional growers and passionate gardeners alike.

## Description

Product Description Do you have a problem with clay or a layer of hard subsoil in your garden? Uses of Gypsum Gypsum is also useful for repairing soil that has been damaged through compaction, either from heavy stock, machinery, in the recovery of sub-soils exposed by earth movement or in soils affected by salinity. Additional benefits are a reduction in crusting, improved water run-off and erosion control, assisting in seedling emergence, more workable soils, and better percolation. Can be used any time throughout the year and only has to be applied once a year Application Rate: 200g/m2 at any time of year Slow release formula. Packaging may vary from that shown. Images are for illustrative purposes only. Dry Soil in Need of Gypsum, also known as Calcium Carbonate Gypsum may be the answer to help loosen the soil structure In a new or established garden, if you have a layer of clay or hard subsoil type of soil, why not consider Gypsum? This type of soil creates poor drainage, soggy soil and soil compaction. Gypsum makes the small particles in clay soil join together into larger particles (like that of a sandy soil) which enables better water penetration and retention, as well as better root penetration. In turn, this also enables better nutrient uptake and usage by the plants. Makes the small particles in clay join together to make larger particles (like sandy soil) Enables better water penetration and retention, as well as better root penetration Removes excess sodium from the soil and adds calcium Repairs soil that has been damaged through compaction, either from heavy stock or machinery or other reasons. Effective in coastal and arid regions as it reduces salt levels in soil. A natural and safe alternative to chemical fertilisers. Can be used on all types of plants, including vegetables, fruits, lawns, and ornamentals.

Review: Miracle Worker for Stubborn, Compacted Clay Soil - Elixir Gardens Gypsum (Calcium Sulphate) is a highly effective, natural solution for transforming heavy, waterlogged clay into beautifully workable, crumbly soil. Rather than simply acting as a masking agent, this agricultural-grade conditioner works at a chemical level, binding fine clay particles together into larger aggregates to dramatically improve drainage and root aeration. Best of all, it achieves these structural improvements completely naturally and without altering the crucial pH balance of your beds, borders, or lawns. The granular composition is exceptionally clean and straightforward to apply, resisting wind drift to ensure the product goes exactly where it is needed. Applied at the recommended rate of 200g per square metre—particularly in autumn to let the winter frost assist the breakdown—it yields fantastic, lasting results for spring planting. Beyond loosening the ground, the slow-release boost of elemental calcium and sulphur reinforces plant cell walls and stimulates vigorous root development, making it an invaluable investment for overall garden health.
Review: Great for planting areas - I bought this, as I have a really heavy clay soil. The main thing I was hoping to do was improve the drainage under my lawn by braking up the clay. This product comes with straightforward instructions and doesn’t take long to apply. I used this over a month ago and so feel I can now review the results. This has made a slight difference to my lawn, although not the level of impact I had hoped. I applied it after removing plugs from the lawn to try and get the product deeper into the lawn. You may then wonder why the 4 stars.... I also used this on some of my planters, which have a base of clay soil, but I top up with compost. I applied this product and then worked the soils with a shovel and fork, turning it over and the results have been amazing. The soil has changed from a compacted clay to a crumbly workable soil in a matter of a could of weeks. Clearly this product does work, I’m just not convinced it will sort out a lawn in one treatment, but if you have an opportunity to work the soil after application it can have great results as I’ve seen. I’ll be applying this to my borders and planters again next year and will give the lawns a go again too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for drainage problems
*by C***8 on 12 May 2025*

Great item slowly but surely eats away the clumpy clay under my lawn, it's drained loads better. I drilled holes 2 foot deep put a 1kg in each hole. Mostly filled the hole with water and left it to drain for a few days. I then packed it with compost as that burns at clay too. Topped the compost up a few times until it was firm. Last few inches I put topsoil in. Worked great after a few month. It takes time. I will do 6 monthly sprinkling sparingly to keep at that clay. It did great at the bottom of planters but just a tiny bit. Just don't use on acidic soil loving plants, check guidelines on plants
