These pelletized granules are designed to begin working on contact with soil, easing compaction so water, air, and nutrients reach roots more readily. The included Nutri-Bond technology helps bind nutrients in the soil to reduce runoff and waste so more of what you apply benefits plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly will I see soil loosen and better water penetration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarth Science Fast Acting Gypsum is finely ground and pelletized so it starts breaking up compacted clays and dense soils immediately after application.
