Gypsum

Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral used in landscaping primarily as a soil conditioner to improve soil structure and fertility. It is particularly effective in breaking up compacted clay soils, allowing for better water infiltration and root growth. Gypsum also adds calcium and sulfur, essential nutrients for plant health. It is often used in lawns, gardens, and agricultural fields to enhance soil quality without altering the soil’s pH. Gypsum is easy to apply and works well with organic matter to create a more fertile and productive soil environment, making it a valuable tool for maintaining healthy landscapes.
