Understanding Soil Fertility
Let’s put ourselves in the mind of a plant…
Just like you and I, plants look for nutritional satisfaction. When you go to a restaurant the menu answers the question of “What am I going to eat?” Plants ask this same question and look for the available nutrients that they crave in the soils that they live. These are the main nutritional ingredients plants crave in their soils:
- Humus: the nutrient bank account that holds all available plant nutrients in the soil
- Calcium: the truck that delivers all nutrients to the plant from the humus bank
- Nitrogen: core element that begins all new cell growth but must be controlled
- Phosphorus: is the “go food” the gives the plants the energy they need
- Potassium: builds strong and healthy plant structures
- Magnesium: the key molecule that powers photosynthesis which drives plant production
- Boron: the driver of the calcium truck, every nutrient truck needs a driver to move
- Sulfur: the flavor maker
- Trace minerals of Copper, Iron, Zinc, and Manganese: are the backbone for overall plant nutrient density and must never be over looked.
The key is feeding the soil, which in turn feeds the plant. The soil ensures the maximum health and vitality to the plants by delivering the nutrients the plants crave in a timely and efficient manner. It is through the proper balance of the soil fertility menu that plants are satisfied and we are able to have the best growing experiences possible. Full Circle Compost products, packed with all of the above nutrients, are designed to fulfill plant nutritional cravings and offer a balanced soil fertility menu.
