DVs are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume or not to exceed each day. Your vegetables could never get enough of the major nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium if you purely fed them through their leaves.First, let’s look at how Daily Value (DV) and Percent Daily Value (%DV) work together. Importantly, it should be remembered that foliar feeding is never an alternative to building up a good, healthy soil. Meanwhile, in The Myth of Foliar Feeding, Linda Chalker-Scott, of Washington State University writes that, while not much good for general usage, foliar feeding can offer a specialised, temporary remedy to nutritional deficiencies in fruit and is "best suited to intensive crop production under specific soil limitations."Ĭompost Plus Minerals is completely balanced so there is no nutritional deficiencies. Foliar feeding is very selective in the minerals applied, ie: there are often just 1-4 minerals in the blend, not the 65 that plants need to be healthy. However, especially with home-made and organic feeds of unknown nutritional content, which don't include a surfactant (wetting agent) in the solution to help it cling to the leaves, the feed drips off leaves far too quickly to do much good and that one of the reasons it appears to work is that it drips onto the soil and feeds the plant in the normal way.
The amounts may at first seem relatively small, but to offset this handicap, the efficiency is high." Since then, chemical companies, in particular, have promoted its general use, and their products, in order to boost crop health and yield.
The idea grew in the 1950s, when research at Michigan State University found that "a leaf is a very efficient organ of absorption. Foliar feeding, which is spray on the leaves, gives little nutrient and is transitory. Optimum feeding for plants is through the roots. Or just put them in your garden to naturally dissolve into the soil. They are not rocks, they are balls of minerals and just need to be smashed to loosen the ingredients. The blending process can lead to the minerals and clay bunching up together forming small balls looking like rocks. Note** that this is a fully natural product. Giving strong growth with pest and disease resistance, real-life trials have shown repair and prevention of sooty mould, lawn repair by top-dressing, mineral-rich food for fruit trees and roses. This product has a high nitrogen to carbon ratio, making an excellent nitrogen source.Ĭontaining more rock minerals and up to 4 times more nutrients than ordinary compost, regularly using this mineralised, fully matured compost as an organic slow-release fertiliser builds up a chemical-free habitat for microorganisms and fungi. In addition to the compost, Soil Solver® Compost Plus Minerals contains micronutrients and trace elements that are often missing from commercial fertilizer such as:Īluminium, Boron, Calcium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, ManganeseĬompost Plus Minerals is Certified Organic Allowed Input compost blended with clay/silt and the complete range of rock and ore minerals that plant and human life need to be healthy. Well-matured (rotted) compost is rich in the three main fertilizer nutrients: Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium Soil Solver® Compost Plus Minerals is the complete all-natural fertilizer alternative for your potted plants, garden beds and lawns.Ĭompost contains plant nutrients, although the exact amounts vary from sample to sample and are depleted in 3-4 months.
