DIY your way to reinventing or keeping your home in top condition. Love tinkering with stuff and modifying, repurposing Dispersive soil contains clay that will disperse when aggregates are exposed to pure water. The clay particles are held together so weakly, that water molecules break them apart. “The terms sodic and dispersive are frequently used interchangeably, however, not all dispersive soils are sodic and not all sodic soils are dispersive”. Vitax Clay Breaker can be incorporated in to soil which will be used for vegetables and flowers. It can also be used for lawns. Using Clay Breaker soil conditioner helps improve soil performance, particularly in heavy, non-productive soils like clay. Clay Breaker breaks up the heaviest of soil, making it easier to work and improves reliability.This not only makes the soil easier to work with but also helps to improve the drainage of heavy clay soils. Clay particles are amazingly dominant in a soil. This is explained by the relative size of the different particles (clay, sand and silt) that soil contains. Clay particles are very small but, because this allows more particles to fit in any given space (say 1cm cubed), they have huge surface area that dominates the physical properties of soil. In comparison, sand and silt particles are larger, so fewer particles are needed to fill a space (say 1cm cubed again). As a result, the overall surface area of sand and silt is smaller and so much less influential on determining the characteristics of a soil than the clay particles.

In practice what this means is: to dilute the proportion of clay in a heavy soil requires very large volumes of grit or other material. It is seldom feasible to do this on anything but a small scale and, for most gardeners, other options such as raised beds, adding organic matter and choosing plants that thrive in clays are more practical. Aeration increases the amount of air that can reach plant roots and also decreases soil compaction which can improve water retention. Clay Breaker works to open up the soil and increase aeration, making it easier for plants to absorb essential nutrients. Nutrients Clay soil is a common problem among gardeners, but don’t worry; Clay Breaker Soil Conditioner is here to help you get the best from your soil and make gardening a little easier. For those gardeners who are used to working with clay soils, there’s no need to tell you about the virtues of gypsum.On the other hand, liquid gypsum is much faster acting. In fact, it will start to work on the soil structure immediately but will take around 6 to 8 weeks to make significant improvements. How to determine if your soil needs gypsum And then I've prepared this solution of the liquid clay breaker which we use to water in the gypsum, putting plenty of water in the hole for the plant that I'm going to put in there. I always like to give my plants a good soak before they go in the ground. This one's a really good one for clay soil, but it's had a few name changes. Instead of water, you can add a liquid clay breaker (more about it below) or compost for a stronger effect.
