In addition to our natural sea-salts, Khoisan produces a gypsum by-product, Gardener’s Gold Dust, an organically certified fertilizer which contains seaweed flakes, that is sold to nurseries in 5kg and 25kg bags.

Although the value of gypsum as a soil additive has been recognised for decades, each year field tests around the world reveal more and more of the benefits of gypsum. 

Gypsum is one of those rare materials in that it amends soil alkalinity, equalizes pH levels, and leaches out harmful salts. Gypsum conditions and improves soil structure allowing air and water penetration and root development. Gypsum nourishes the plant with high grade calcium and protects it with sulphur.

Suitable for use in all soils from clay to sandy, from alkaline to acid, Khoisan’s Gardener’s Gold Dust is the best organic soil conditioner that restores soil to optimum health, is weed-free, does not burn roots or leaves, and provides the following properties:

 

An efficient source of calcium readily available to plants requirements. The nutrients in Gardener’s Gold Dust  in the development of strong stems, terminal buds and roots thereby promoting the uptake of all other trace elements in the soil, including the added seaweed flakes. 

Gardener’s Gold Dust applications release sulphur which promotes healthy, glossy, green leaves and good growth rates.

 Beneficial for heavy clay or ‘oily’ alkaline soil as it equalises the pH of the soil without the burning effect of other sources. Calcium and sulphur leached out of the soil by rain, floods and irrigation is easily replenished by Gardener’s Gold Dust. 

Gardener’s Gold Dust aerates the soil, resulting in a rich, friable soil structure, reducing the danger of fungus infestation.  

Gardener’s Gold Dust preserves the natural nitrogen that results from decaying leaves and grass cuttings, promoting the formation of nitrates in soil.  

When applied to manure /compost piles, Gardener’s Gold Dust accelerates decomposition, trapping nitrogen and increasing the effectiveness and availability of nutrients to plants while preventing odours. 

Excellent for all pot-plants and container gardens as Gardener’s Gold Dust prevents acidity build up and supplies trace elements and nutrients which have been leached out by continual watering. 

Gardener’s Gold Dust can be applied when digging over new gardens for lawns, rose beds, indigenous/natural gardens and seed-beds, but can be sprinkled over existing garden soils and watered in well. 

Gardener’s Gold Dust maximises the potential of flowering and fruiting plants and trees.
