No, it is a soil conditioner, not a fertilizer. It does not add nutrients to the soil itself, but rather improves the soil structure so that your plants can better retain the water and nutrients you provide through other means.

While perlite and vermiculite are often used for aeration, they can break down over time. Espoma Soil Perfector is made from kiln-fired ceramic minerals, making it exceptionally durable and permanent, so it won't degrade or collapse within your soil.

No, this product is pH neutral. It is designed to improve the physical structure of your soil—specifically aeration and moisture retention—without altering the chemical balance.

For best results, mix it thoroughly into your existing soil at a ratio of approximately 10% to 20% by volume. This ensures the granules are evenly distributed to create the necessary air pockets and water reservoirs throughout the root zone.
