I saw the other two reviews and wanted to say that my research indicates that gypsum can be very useful, for example, where patches of lawn are damaged by pet urine and the soil needs to be neutralized. Gypsum can help where more calcium is needed but unlike lime it enriches the soil without raising Ph. So, just reserach what your soil needs first before buying. As to the price, Amazon is especially convenient when you just want something delivered to the door farily quickly, but if you really want to compare prices and are willing to telephone and drive to local places, just do that! You could call local places first, then check and compare on Amazon. The other reviews are not really about this product itself.

I love this organic gypsum. I use it to grow mushrooms in my garden and to prevent a host of other diseases in my vegetables. So far, I have a great yeild.

I visited my local nursery yesterday. They had the exact same product for $3.99 per bag. I paid $14.71 per bag! What a rip off!

Gypsum is not a fertilizer. It is not a soil conditioner. It is a source of sulphur for soils. It will help reduce the sodium content in highly salty soil. But it will not add calcium to the soil or raise the Ph. There is very little need for use by gardeners in most of the US. Save your money. Get a soil test from your local or state ag university or extension service to see what you would need in fertilizer or compost.
