Because Supply security matters! Replace Imported Minerals with Western Australian Attapulgite Clay and Diatomaceous Earth for Moisture, Odour, and Gas Control
Western Australian attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth provide natural, high-purity alternatives to imported adsorptive minerals. These minerals improve moisture retention, odor and gas control, and soil health, supporting sustainable farming, pet care, and industrial applications.
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.
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 […]
