The present invention provides for a growing medium having a mix of soil, graphene, and/or graphene oxide. In at least one example, soil is combined with single or few layer graphene. In another example, the soil is combined with single or few layer graphene, including graphene sheets, and graphene oxide. The growing medium has been shown to increase plant growth while providing for growing medium aeration, increased water retention, and increased nutrient loading and release.

According to some embodiments, there is provided herein a fertilizer granule comprising Polyhalite and Ammonium Sulphate, wherein said granule comprises a concentration of 40-60% w/w Polyhalite and 60-40% w/w of Ammonium Sulphate.

The invention provides compositions and systems comprising a carrier and an element. The carrier is a network of polymers insoluble in water comprising phenolic hydroxyl moieties, aliphatic hydroxyl moieties or a combination thereof. An association between the carrier and the element is labile in response to biological demand and the lability of the association in the presence of water is less than the lability of the association in response to biological demand. Also provided are methods of making such compositions and methods for delivering the element to an organism.
