OYSTER SHELL FLOUR (36% Calcium)

Ground Calcium Amendment for Soil Health & pH Balance

Sourced from ancient oyster shell deposits in the San Francisco Bay, this ground flour is a sustainable, natural source of calcium carbonate—perfect for buffering soil pH, improving structure, and supporting healthy plant growth.

It breaks down slowly, providing a long-lasting release of calcium and trace minerals. Oyster Shell Flour enhances nutrient availability, encourages microbial life, and helps build stronger roots and cell walls—especially beneficial for leafy greens, brassicas, fruiting crops, and compost systems.

A natural, slow-acting alternative to mined lime, ideal for growers focused on building balanced, biologically active soil.
