Are Human Ashes Good for Plants?

 

Let Your Love Grow is the only organic soil mixture on the market that addresses the two major issues associated with cremated human ashes: high pH and high sodium (salt). These two aspects make for a harmful and most likely lethal combination to plant growth. 

Read on to see how Let Your Love Grow’s patented, all-organic soil mixture can help make human ashes good for plants.

Cremated Human Ashes Alone are HARMFUL to Plant Growth!

Cremated ashes have an extremely high pH that inhibits plant growth. This high pH makes essential nutrients unavailable for the plant to use, and, therefore, it does not get the necessary nutrition to grow.  

Lowering the pH to an optimum range will release beneficial nutrients making them available to the plant allowing it to thrive. Regular soil and potting soil do not have the buffering capacity to significantly lower the pH and make human ashes good for plants on their own.

The other limiting factor with regard to cremated ashes is the inherent excessive sodium (salt) content. Plants need a very small dose of sodium. Cremated human ashes have an excess of sodium causing deficiencies in essential nutrients, primarily potassium. 

Use Let Your Love Grow’s Organic Soil Mixture with Human Ash

Let Your Love Grow is a specially formulated organic soil planting mixture that will lower the pH while safely diluting the harmful sodium (salt) of cremated ashes. Let Your Love Grow is the essential ingredient for healthy remembrance plantings. 

Here are the three steps you should follow to safely bury, scatter or create a lasting living memorial of your loved one’s ashes. 

  1. Blend. Mix Let Your Love Grow with human ash to neutralize the high pH and sodium levels present in cremated remains. 

  2. Sit. Allow the organic soil mixture to sit for a period of time to reach normal pH and sodium levels. View the directions on your LYLG bag for ideal timing.

  3. Honor. You can now safely plant, scatter or bury your loved ones' cremated remains and honor their legacy among nature.
