This living memorial soil can be used to help reduce the environmental harm that can be caused by cremation ashes. Ashes have a high pH and sodium content, which means they can prevent plants from flourishing when in contact with them. This soil enhancer contains a carefully formulated, 100% organic material that, when mixed with ashes, creates a nutrient-rich, perfect environment for trees, plants and shrubs. As the cremated remains are broken down more of the beneficial nutrients locked inside are released allowing the growing plant to flourish. Using it is as simple as mixing the ashes with the product and then planting out as normal. It comes with a simple set of instructions for how to use the kit depending on whether you are planting in the ground or in a pot.
