Explore how attapulgite clay and freshwater diatomaceous earth (Badgingarra DE) offer natural solutions to fertilizer inefficiency, nitrogen loss, and soil degradation. These Australian minerals enhance crop uptake, improve soil health, and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
Attapulgite Clay vs Diatomaceous Earth (DE) for Soil Amendment in Australia: What Works Best in Hot, Dry Conditions?
Diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay are natural mineral amendments that improve Australian soils by enhancing moisture retention, nutrient availability, and soil structure. This guide explains how to use them separately or blended, with practical application tips for gardens, horticulture, turf management, and poultry odour control. Learn which format—10 L tubs, bulk minerals, or blended ChickenKoop Refresh—is best for your soil and climate conditions.
Powders Adsorb, Sprays Mask: Why Mineral Powders Are the Ultimate Solution for Dog and Pet Odours
Mineral adsorbent powders, such as diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay, remove dog and pet odours at the molecular level. Unlike sprays that only mask smells, these powders adsorb ammonia and volatile compounds, providing a safe, long-lasting, and scientifically proven solution for odour control.
Australian Diatomaceous Earth: The Natural Solution for Animal Cleaning and Odour Control
Western Australia produces high-quality diatomaceous earth (DE) with natural, non-toxic properties, ideal for agriculture, horticulture, and pest control. Extracted, processed, and supplied directly from Australian mines, DE offers a sustainable, safe alternative to chemical pesticides and odour control powders. Its versatile applications support eco-friendly farming, organic horticulture, and commercial industries while maintaining human and environmental safety.
Unlock the Potential of Australian Diatomaceous Earth (Diatomite / DE) for Processing and Export
“Australian diatomaceous earth (diatomite / DE) is a naturally occurring, high-quality mineral sourced from Western Australia, Queensland, and South Australia, offering exceptional opportunities for local processors and end users. With silica content of 80–90% and natural organics, Australian DE is ideal for low-spec applications including horticulture, agriculture, pot plants, broadacre crop soil improvement, livestock feed, poultry dusting, eco-friendly pet litter, and industrial moisture and spill control. For Australian processors, domestic DE provides a reliable, cost-effective feedstock for calcination, micronisation, refining, and blending, enabling the production of mid- or high-purity DE suitable for filtration, industrial absorbents, chemical fillers, and export-grade markets. Switching to locally sourced Australian DE maximises value, supports sustainable and traceable supply chains, reduces dependence on imported DE, and strengthens the domestic mineral processing industry while meeting global demand for eco-friendly, high-performance diatomaceous earth

Unprocessed freshwater diatomaceous earth (diatomite / DE) from Badgingarra, WA, ready for custom processing, blending, and research applications
The Science of Diatomaceous Earth
Why the Badgingarra Deposit Matters Diatomaceous earth (DE, or diatomite) is a highly porous, siliceous sedimentary rock composed of the fossilized frustules (silica shells) of diatoms. Its unique microstructure — very high internal surface area with interconnected microporosity — gives DE exceptional absorptive, filtration, and adsorptive properties that are widely used in agriculture, industry, and […]
