Why Does Gypsum Make First-Class Fertilizer?

Gypsum is a source of calcium. It is chemically neutral. The alternative to gypsum as a calcium source is lime.

We use gypsum primarily with plants like gardenias, blueberries, etc. It cannot tolerate alkaline conditions. They cannot control the absorption of calcium.

This is where gypsum comes in. It is neutral, and very soluble. We can add it to soils or growing media as a calcium source.

What does it take for a good fertilizer?

N= Nitrogen – It’s used to green your lawn and plants. It’s required in different amounts at different times of the year.

Warm season grasses need more Nitrogen when it is warm and none when dormant. Cool season grasses require more when it cools.

P= Phosphorus -Phosphorus is essential for root development. A key element that helps in the development of newly seeded grass and plants.

K= Potassium- It’s used for winter hardiness. It helps a plant survive through the cold season. It helps plants and grass develop a deeper root system.

Gypsum controls the rate of hardening of cement:

Gypsum is added to control the “setting of cement”. It thereby leaves no time for concrete placing.

Why do rates change so dramatically in the cement industry?

The cement industry isn’t regulated. The prices fluctuate according to the demand of the market.

What is the natural, organic way to make soil fertile?

Nutrient levels

·         Planting nitrogen fixing plants

·         Adding organic content (manure, compost etc.)

·         Not removing organic content (i.e. leaving straw, weeds etc.)

Soil structure

·         Mechanical drainage i.e. ditches, pipes, ripping etc.

·         Adding ameliorants (gypsum, mulch etc.)

Organic content

It’s most important.

What type of false ceiling is more durable gypsum or Paris board?

Both are durable. The strength isn’t in the gypsum board or powder pop. It’s the section of steel on which this material is applied.

Also there’re plenty of answers. All depends by the use you will do. Both are durable but you have a problem with Paris board and visible frames.

How is gypsum board made?          

Mined out of the ground, it’s then crushed, powdered, and dehydrated. Gypsum starts out as an ore.

It is brought back to the processing facility. Then it is dumped by dump truck into large holding tanks.

Once the powder is made, then the ore is chemically treated.  When it comes out, it’s still liquid. It creates a paste that is used to form paper coated boards.

Once they’re formed, they go into a keln to dry. Once they’re dry they’re stacked for shipping. It’s a little more complicated than that, but you get the picture. The chemical process is complicated.

What is false ceiling?

False ceiling is the ceiling created under the main slab or the floor. Ceiling other then original or main ceiling (slab) is called false ceiling.
