The makeup of soil is arguably the most important part of having a successful growing experience. Soil must have the perfect balance of moisture and nutrients in order to successfully nurture plant life. This can be a delicate system to manage, but Rocky Mountain BioAg® Premium Montmorillonite Calcium Bentonite is one more tool in your kit to obtain the healthiest soil possible.

The wettability of soil, or its ability to hold water, is extremely important for proper growth. Montmorillonite calcium bentonite is one of the ways to improve wettability by offering a complex nutrient blend to ensure your soil is as healthy as possible. Our Montmorillonite is sourced from only the best deposits the country has to offer, so it’s all-natural, never synthetic, and the highest quality available.

Not only does this blend provide exceptional nutrients and improve wettability, but it prevents leaching of other nutrients and helps plants absorb them more easily. To improve soil structure and health, look no further than Rocky Mountain BioAg® Premium Montmorillonite Calcium Bentonite.

    I have a greenhouse that unfortunately does not get the ideal sunlight due to its location on the north side of my home. I have been using Rocky Mountain BioAg’s Quantum Growth Organic Total for over a year and have seen a dramatic increase in plant growth and vegetable yield compared to past years. Highly recommend the product.
