Using Shungite For Plant & Soil Health
Shungite has been studied for its effects on soil and plants with amazing results!
WHAT IS SHUNGITE?
Shungite a rare black, carbon-rich mineral found only in Karelia, Russia. It is believed to be at least 2 billion years old. This is before organic life existed on the planet! One plausible theory on Shungite's origins is that it was deposited by a large meteorite collision.
Shungite is used extensively for agriculture and health in Russia. It has numerous applications in agriculture, viticulture and horticulture that extend to garden and house plants, fruit trees and other crops.

HOW DOES SHUNGITE BENEFIT SOIL, PLANTS AND THE ECOSYSTEM?
Residues from pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other defoliants remain in the soil after their period of usefulness. Shungite contains unique molecular structures known as fullerenes, which attract and neutralize most of these toxic substances.
The unique cage-like structure also traps and neutralizes electromagnetic radiation, protecting all forms of life for its potentially damaging effects. Shungite is used in beehives for this reason, and has been shown to solve the issue of bees becoming disoriented and unable to find their way back to their hives, which was speculated to be as a result of EMFs.
- Promotes soil fertility
- Supports rebuilding of microorganism substrates
- Reinforces natural defences of the plants
- Increases tonicity, colour, growth and resistance of plants
- Improves growth and root systems
- Enhanced development of stems, leaves and flowers
- Decreases water consumption (supports humidity retention)
- Increases productivity (Russian market gardeners note between 20-40% increase!)

WHAT ARE FULLERENES?
Fullerenes are a special type of carbon. They are famous for their hollow, cage-like structures, typically made entirely of carbon atoms. These carbon atoms are arranged in patterns of hexagons and pentagons, similar to the pattern on a football or a geodesic dome. The most famous fullerene is called C60 (carbon-60), also known as "buckminsterfullerene" or simply a "buckyball." The name comes from Buckminster Fuller, an architect who designed geodesic dome structures that look similar to C60.
The Fullerene was discovered in 1985 by scientists at Rice University in Houston, Texas, and was named "Molecule of the Year" in 1991 because of its potential uses in science.
In 1996, The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly to Professor Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto and Richard E. Smalley for their discovery of fullerenes.

HOW TO USE SHUNGITE IN THE GARDEN
TREES & SHRUBS
· Add crushed Shungite at the foot of the tree or into the earth when planting.
· Spread Shungite powder at the foot of the tree.
· Water with Shungite water (see instructions below).
INDOOR PLANTS
· Use crushed Shungite for drainage and fertilization at a rate of 20g per 1kg of soil.
· Water with Shungite water.
· Add to vases with cut flowers to extend life.
MARKET GARDENS, GREENHOUSES & HYDROPONICS
· Spread 0.2 - 0.5kg crushed Shungite per metre into soil in the planting season.
· A Shungite layer will absorb & retaining solar energy, increasing temperature & humidity.
· Use 1kg per cubic metre as a component of substrate in hydroponic systems.
· Restructuring & detoxification of soil – add 1kg crushed Shungite per cubic metre.
SHUNGITE WATER
· Prepare water 3 days in advance
· Use at the rate of 1kg Shungite per 5 litres of water
· Alternatively, add 7 grams of powdered Shungite per litre & water plants directly.
· Add crushed Shungite at the foot of the tree or into the earth when planting.
· Spread Shungite powder at the foot of the tree.
