Most home gardeners of vegetables have seen or heard somewhere from someone the meaning of N, P, K levels in your soil. These letters stand for certain elements and are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). If you look on every bag of fertilizer are available at home or your local garden center, you see these letters and usually a ratio of values directly to the bucket bag or box.
Although, N, P and K, are considered the three great, are only a few compared tomany elements and nutrients that plants need to grow and prosper. Just like you need all the vitamins and minerals from A to zinc, a plant requires a lot of nutrients as well.
A special nutrients it needs, just like humans, is soccer. Calcium in plants is required for cell division during its formation and growth of the plant. If your soil lacks calcium, the leaves of your plants will be yellow or pale and fine grain rot occurs frequently. Other signs of calciumLack of training include poor root browning in plants and plant and training of small fruit.
When you were growing vegetables for some time then you already know the importance of composting. If you like to do only simple composting bury your food waste or maintain a compost pile of leaves, twigs and grass, and then added the compost to the soil, then more than likely already received a lot of football. Of course, if you do not, then you shouldbegins immediately. There is nothing better for your floors, the addition of organic material, decompose and breakdown of nutrients your soil needs.
Good sources of calcium on composting are calcitic lime, calcium sulfate, chalk, bone meal, soft rock, calcium carbonate, and for those of you who have fireplaces, wood ashes are. All or most of them are at home or the local garden center is available and some are much more expensive than others. So if you're going to put outto earn some money that you have a source other valuable nutrients. Bone meal, for example, is a major source of phosphorus and the addition of bone meal (a mixture of crushed bones) to your soil, you are getting two nutrients of great value for the price of one.
On a side note, even though wood ashes are a good source of calcium and potassium, never use ash from coal. These ashes can be toxic to your soil, plants and the ecosystem belowworking hard to break your organic material, which to bury you.
If you are designing a commercial product, be sure to follow the instructions on the container so as not to add too much or too little. A table with a test kit at home ground is very practical, so you know exactly how much calcium is your soil contains. You can choose one to your home or local garden center for a few dollars.
