PermaMatrix® is 100% organic, and begins the process of turning poor, unhealthy dirt into healthy productive soil. It improves nutrient availability to the plant by combining a unique blend of biochar (a type of charcoal or soil carbon) that retains water and provides habitat for soil microbes and mycorrhizae (beneficial fungi), minerals and clean organics (humates). This living soil amendment produces greater yields in garden vegetables and stronger, faster growing plants in the landscape.
