Feeding Calcium to plants??
I've seen a number of posts about how valuable calcium supplements can
be to plants (eg. Tomatoes etc). Many people talk about adding mineral supplement tablets straight into the soil. I recently bought some Dolomite tables (it's a naturally occurring mix of Calcium and Magnesium minerals) and tried crumbling them up to mix into the soil around my plants. When I watered them, the white crumbs just stayed on the surface. I'm beginning to wonder quite how water-soluble this stuff is, and hence how are we supposed to get it into a form where it can actually reach the plants & be taken up through their roots. Can anyone out there who's seen a difference from using these supplements please advise? Thanks, Colin ----- (Please reply via the newsgroup) |
