Olivine – Magnesium-Iron Silicate

£5.00

Olivine is a naturally occurring magnesium-iron silicate rock. Our fine-grade olivine powder gradually releases magnesium as it breaks down in the soil, supporting plant health over time. It also provides plant-available silica, which can strengthen cell walls, and releases some iron, though its availability to plants is typically lower.
