| Absorbency | 1–2 mm Greens Grade Mini Prill with absorbency averaging 65–70% w/w. |
| Colour | White, cream to pink |
| Moisture | 0.70% w.b. |

How it Works

Neem Granules combine the natural benefits of Neem oil with VolcaMin Zeolite* a mineral formed from volcanic ash, rich in silica and trace minerals. Together, they provide both nutrition and soil detox benefits.
How It Works
- Neem Oil Infusion – Provides natural plant bio-stimulants
- VolcaMin Zeolite (71% silica) – Highly absorbent (65–70%), holds water and nutrients, and releases them slowly to plants
- Soil Conditioning – Buffers pH, improves cation exchange capacity (CEC), and supports long-term fertility
- Soil Wetter Additive – Enhances water infiltration and retention, reducing runoff
- Slow-Release Action – Feeds plants steadily for up to 3 months

*What is VolcaMin?….. The mineral from the Volcano, (Zeolite Clinoptilolite), is used in Horticulture, e.g. in composts/potting mixes or growing media/or as a carrier/soil ameliorant. Also used as a Silicate Fertiliser, and are superior/excellent as a carrier for slow-release natural fertilisers, e.g. holding Fish liquid, seaweed or traditional agchem liquid fertilisers. The hard granules do not break down when swept or handled. Properties of our Volcamin:
- High Absorbency: Absorbs 65% - 70% its own weight of liquid.
- Has broad range of Trace elements
- Inert: Will not react with other materials/liquids.
- Cation Exchange Capacity: (120 to 148CEC) for Nutrient retention, able to store and slowly release cations.
- Fusion Point: 1,570 deg. - 1,600 deg. centigrade
- Ideal pH = 6.5 (to 6.7pH)
- Non-Disaggregating:
- Colour: Predominantly white and pink, minor grey
- Odour Control: absorbs, locks in and neutralises odours.
Application
Apply 50–100g per square metre. Where possible, work the granules into the top 10cm of soil, or apply onto soil surface before sowing or laying turf. You can also simply apply/sweep into cores/holes during turf renovation.

Only have great things to say about Plant Doctor. Organic products and a competitive price, fast shipping and easy to contact with questions. Have had great results with the special mix for lawns, and my plants (indoor and outdoor) love the seaweed secrets. I am excited to test out some of the animal products soon!
