About Gypsum
Gypsum is Nature’s very own plant super food. It increases and maintains plant health by providing them with large amounts of Calcium and Sulphur: two elements essential to plant growth. Gypsum is extracted from our open-air mine in Yzerfontein using a unique gypsum/water seperation process only.

Natural gypsum is calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O) – soluble in water, which releases calcium (Ca) and sulfur (S), absorbed by the plants and crops as needed. Gypsum is used worldwide for ground control, correction and plant nutrition.
The product breaks up clay soils for water intake en drainage, equally removing oiliness out of sandy soils. The soil pH is managed by gypsum and the necessary calcium and sulfate is added.
Natural gypsum gets formed over thousands of years, mostly in dips (pans) in the earth (later “enfolded” through soil). These depressions usually contain more than gypsum alone, including nitrate, chloride and many other elements. These other elements are washed out over years and then the sulfate ions, binded with calcium, leaving gypsum last. Because of the conditions of the soil (for eg. temperature, rain season etc.).
