Increased adsorption of ammonium, nitrogen, phosphate, and calcium ions
Increased storage of nutrients over regular organic matter
Increased nutritional value & quality of fruits and vegetables
Improved buffering of soil pH and stability
Increased diversity of soil bio-organisms
Improved and denser root development
Reduction of Fertilizer, especially nitrogen and phosphorus
Reducing overall fertilizer and water requirements by 50%
