Down to Earth Rock Phosphate (0-3-0), 5 Lb

Down to Earth Rock Phosphate 0-3-0 is a vital soil amendment designed to provide a long-lasting source of phosphorus and calcium, essential nutrients for healthy plant growth and productivity. This 5 lb bag is perfect for enriching your garden and promoting abundant blooms, fruits, and vegetables.  

Key Benefits:

• Long-Term Phosphorus Source: Rock phosphate releases phosphorus slowly and steadily, ensuring your plants have access to this crucial nutrient throughout their growth cycle. This promotes strong root development, vigorous growth, and abundant flowering.  
• Calcium Enrichment: Provides calcium, another essential nutrient that plays a key role in cell development, fruit production, and overall plant health. Helps prevent calcium deficiencies that can lead to blossom-end rot and other issues.  
• Versatile Application: Ideal for a wide range of plants, including bulbs, fruits, shrubs, trees, and vegetables. Can be used in various gardening settings, from raised beds and in-ground gardens to container plantings.  
• OMRI Listed: Certified for use in organic production, giving you peace of mind knowing you're using a natural and sustainable product.
