Edasil, clay minerals

Q: What is Edasil used for?

Edasil is a clay-based soil amendment made from montmorillonite. Thanks to its high cation exchange capacity (CEC), it holds on to nutrients (calcium, magnesium, potassium, ammonium…) and gradually releases them to plants; it also retains water. This helps reduce leaching, especially in light, sandy soils. According to our product sheet, it is suitable for use in organic farming.

Q: What can Edasil be used with?

Our product page pairs it with Aegir, Vulkamin granules, Bokashi EM mulch, and Microferm in a soil improvement program for 108 sq ft (10 m²): 2.2 lb (1 kg) of Aegir, 2.2 lb (1 kg) of Edasil, 2.2 lb (1 kg) of Vulkamin granules, 11 lb (5 kg) of bokashi mulch, and a spray of Microferm diluted to 1–2%, once a year, ideally in the fall.Edasil can also be added to compost or manure at a rate of about 17 lb per cubic yard (10 kg per m³): the clay helps retain nutrients.

Q: When should Edasil be applied?

Applying Edasil once a year is enough, ideally in the fall or early spring, but you can apply it any time of year. To minimize dust during application, the manufacturer's documentation recommends reducing the spreading width. Available in sizes from 4.4 to 2,315 lb (2 to 1,050 kg).

Guide & FAQ4

Edasil® is a natural mineral soil amendment made from montmorillonite, a clay mineral from the bentonite group known for its exceptional absorption and binding capacity.

Edasil - montmorillonite with high absorption and binding capacity

Thanks to its structure of fine, negatively charged plates, montmorillonite has a very high cation exchange capacity (CEC), allowing it to bind essential nutrients (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, ammonium, etc.) and release them gradually to plants as they need them.

Edasil provides long-lasting improvement in soil fertility, limits nutrient leaching, and optimizes moisture management.

✔ Approved for use in organic farming (compliant with European regulations)

Benefits

Improves soil structure.
Increases cation exchange capacity (CEC).
Binds nutrients and releases them gradually.
Reduces leaching and mineral losses.
Better water retention, especially in sandy soils.
Actively supports soil microbial life.
Positive effect during periods of drought or excess water.

Applications

✔ Soil improvement
Together with humus, Edasil forms the clay-humus complex, the foundation of soil fertility.
It acts as a powerful ionic buffer, storing nutrients and releasing them when plants need them.

✔ Moisture management
Its swelling capacity allows it to hold large amounts of water, which benefits light, sandy soils.
