The Amazing Diatom

Nature designed this tiny organism for efficient movement of water and air. Like a microscopic hard sponge, the diatom is 82% porous and is the key to adding permanent porosity to soil.

About AXIS

AXIS is a superior soil amendment, made from naturally occurring diatomaceous earth.

Incorporated into the soil, AXIS increases air and water capacities. AXIS reduces compaction, firms up soggy soils, loosens hard to work soils, provides better drainage, increases infiltration rates, increases plant available water, and aids in nutrient transfer — resulting in dramatically improved root growth and improved microbial activity.

Calcined for extreme durability

AXIS is kiln-fired at extremely high temperatures, around 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, to create a hard, durable, yet highly porous particle. AXIS is stable under temperature extremes and all kinds of moisture conditions. University research shows AXIS behaves like sand when subjected to repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Chemically inert, AXIS will not interfere with soil chemistry.

AXIS helps balance air and water in soil

University research shows the natural porosity of AXIS gives you more latitude in turf management during drought and extremely wet conditions. AXIS helps modify both moisture extremes in the soil because of its unique honeycomb structure, and increases oxygen levels for healthy root development.

Helps flush salts from soil

Adding continuous soil porosity with AXIS improves overall water movement in soil, which in many cases can help remove undesirable salts.

How AXIS Works

AXIS is scientifically proven to improve soil properties

  • Resists compaction

  • Balances O2 and H20 in soil

  • Increases infiltration

  • Buffers soil temperatures

  • Increases available plant water

  • Improves drainage
