Axis can be applied to help overcome a number of problem situations in soils.

The inert, porous granules will:

• Increase drainage and permeability

• Increase the oxygen holding
capacity of soils

• Help reduce compaction

• Balance air and water in the
rootzone, encouraging rooting

• Increase water and nutrient
availability in sandy soils

Axis granules contain a naturally occurring
mineral containing thousands of microscopic diatoms - hard, sponge-like structures which add porosity and impart other benefits to the soil.

The product is calcined (heated to around
1800°C) to create a stable and durable
particle that is resistant to breakdown.
Its internal pore structure helps overcome
problems such as compaction and black
layer by introducing air filled porosity
(oxygen) into the rootzone. In poorly
draining soils, Axis helps to increase
percolation rates, moving water through
the soil profile. On free draining soils with
low CEC, Axis acts to retain water and
nutrients to promote continued growth in
adverse conditions.

Once applied, Axis becomes a permanent
part of the rootzone.

Use AXIS:

• On compacted soils with poor
oxygen content

• Badly draining soils

• Soils that have black layer or
anaerobic conditions

• Sandy soils that dry out too rapidly.

• Areas of high traffic and wear.

• Turf areas with poor root structure and development.

• As a surface dressing to discourage moss and algae colonization

High volume low weight

The beneficial effects of soil amendments
depend on the actual amount (or volume)
of product applied, rather than on the
weight.

Because Axis has a low bulk density, it is extremely light. Hence, a bag of Axis contains significantly more product than the same weight of other types of amendment.

Application
Axis is best applied:
After coring / tining / verti-draining, combined with the topdressing material or In a ‘Drill and Fill’ operation.

For best results, aim to achieve incorporation of 10% by volume of Axis, in the top 100-150mm of rootzone. Use 14 -20 bags (eg: after coring) or up to 40 bags (eg: after verti-draining). per 500m2. Follow with further applications as
necessary.

At coring:
Apply Axis after coring or aerating, mixed 50/50 with a suitable top dressing. Drag mat / brush into holes and water in.

Axis can also be used
(1) In renovation where it can be rotovated into the top 150 mm of rootzone before re-turfing or seeding.

(2) Premixed into rootzone used in
construction.
