Soft Rock Phosphate Colloidal Granular for Organic Farming Gardening

It can also provide low levels of trace minerals and valuable trace elements such as: iron, sodium, magnesium, boron, and iodine. Colloidal Soft Rock Phosphate is a great source of slow-release phosphorus and calcium. A small percentage of the nutrients are available immediately and the majority are released slowly over a period of a few years. When using colloidal soft rock phosphate as a soil amendment, keep in mind that, for the roots to absorb the phosphorus and calcium, the soil must be acidic or have a high level of microbial activity. To accelerate the absorption process, you can mix the soft rock phosphate with compost when applying.  The continual application of compost over time will allow the plant roots to continually take up the nutrients from soft rock phosphate.
