Build-A-Soil BuildASoil Phosphorus Blend: Pushin' P - 3LB
Pushin' P is a 4-in-1 phosphorus blend: a diverse soil amendment built around organic sources of phosphorus, which are few. Four ingredients in one amendment add diversity and lower the chance of buildup from overusing any single ingredient. It is suited to seedling soil mixes, flowering plants and fruit trees. As with all organics, less is more. Don't push too hard. What's in it Premium organic rice bran: naturally high in phosphorus and low in heavy metals, and rich in carbon. Fish bone meal: 20% phosphorus and a high calcium content, which ensures balanced nutrient levels along with all the trace elements. Active 2-20-2: premium micronized calcium phosphate, low in heavy metals, enhanced with organic non-GMO amino acids for better chelation. Black soldier fly insect frass: high in phosphorus and biology, and delivers essential micronutrients without heavy metal concerns. How to use Amending soil: 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil. Topdressing: 1-2 tablespoons for smaller plants, 1/4 cup for larger plants. Compost tea: 1/4 cup per 4-5 gallons of water, added at the start of brewing. Good to know Soil testing best practices recommend a 2:1 phosphorus to potassium ratio. Suited to the transition into the flowering phase, or to amending against a soil test to raise phosphorus levels. Phosphorus is important for rooting and fruiting. What phosphorus does for plants Energy transfer: phosphorus is a key component of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy carrier in all living organisms, which provides the energy for photosynthesis, respiration and nutrient uptake. Nucleic acids and cell membranes: it is part of the backbone of DNA and RNA, which supports cell division and growth, and a component of the phospholipids that form the structural framework of cell membranes. Root development: adequate phosphorus promotes strong, extensive roots that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Flowering and fruit development: it is crucial for the reproductive stages and supports the formation of flowers, seeds and fruit.

Combining them increases diversity and lowers the chances of buildup from excessive use of single ingredients. How to use Amending soil: Use at 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil. Topdressing: Use 1-2 tablespoons for smaller plants and 1/4 cup for larger plants. Compost tea: Use 1/4 cup per 4-5 gallons of water at the start of brewing your tea. Excellent for seedling soil mixes, flowering plants and fruit trees. Good to know Soil testing best practices recommend a 2:1 phosphorus to potassium ratio. A good fit for transitioning into the flowering phase, or for amending against a soil test to boost phosphorus levels. P is excellent for rooting and fruiting. What phosphorus does for plants Energy: Phosphorus is a key component of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy carrier in all living organisms. ATP provides the energy for processes within the plant, including photosynthesis, respiration and nutrient uptake, and phosphorus helps form the energy-rich compounds those processes need. Genetic material and cell membranes: Phosphorus is part of the backbone of DNA and RNA, which are vital for genetic information transfer and protein synthesis and support proper cell division and growth. It is also a component of phospholipids, the structural framework of cell membranes, which is important for maintaining cell integrity and facilitating nutrient transport. Roots, flowers and fruit: Adequate phosphorus promotes strong, extensive root development, which helps the plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil. It is crucial for the reproductive stages, supporting the formation of flowers, seeds and fruits. Sufficient phosphorus can lead to bigger and more abundant flowers and improved fruit and seed production.

Build-A-Soil Rootwise Bio-Catalyst Enzyme Elixer - Pint
Rootwise Bio-Catalyst Enzyme Elixer is a liquid enzyme product. It utilizes organisms found in Rootwise Mycrobe Complete along with select yeast and fungi cultures; enzymes are produced, extracted, and concentrated into a non-living liquid form. The result is an enzyme profile that functions symbiotically with the organisms present in Mycrobe Complete soil inoculant. How it works These enzymes are the catalysts of the soil biology process, which enables nutrient uptake. When applied in tandem with a soil inoculant, the enzymes allow the microbes to come out of dormancy and perform their tasks with increased viability and efficiency. Establishing this ideal biological system aids your crop's ability to thrive. Good to know The new formula of the Bio-Catalyst Enzyme Elixer is shelf stable to reduce/eliminate bottle swelling, and it has a blackish color. This is perfectly normal.

Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Agsil16H Potassium Silicate - 1LB
Agsil16H is a potassium silicate in a 1 lb size, a source of silicon. Silicon is missing from many soils, and most soil tests do not even monitor it. Why silicon matters Silicon is the second most abundant mineral on the planet. Clays are alumina silicates and sand is largely silicon, so the shortage is a matter of form, not quantity. Plants take up silicon as silicic acid, and that is the form missing from the soil. Silicon is not classed as an essential nutrient, but new findings may soon change that. A healthy, disease suppressive soil should contain 100 ppm of monosilicic acid, as measured in a soil analysis, and very few soils come anywhere near that mark. What silicon can do Increase stress resistance Boost photosynthesis and chlorophyll content Improve drought resistance, salt tolerance and soil fertility Prevent lodging Reduce insect pressure, frost damage and destructive disease Lower irrigation rates Neutralize heavy metal toxicity and counter the negative effects of excess sodium Increase root growth, boost yield and enhance crop quality Good to know What drove the widespread shortage is not yet understood. Something in conventional agriculture appears to have compromised the conversion of insoluble silicon into the plant-available form, which may reflect a mineral imbalance or the loss of soil microbe species that solubilize silicon. Hundreds of papers have been presented at the International Silicon Conferences in Brazil and South Africa. Silicon is emerging as a key player in proactive pest and disease management. It is an essential prerequisite for proactive pest and stress management and should be an integral part of every good nutrition program.

Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Grow-Cal | Amino Acid Chelated Liquid Calcium - 1QT
Grow-Cal is an amino acid chelated liquid calcium, derived from non-synthetic calcium chloride. No EDTA chelators are used at all, which makes it safe for microbes. It is a replacement for calcium25 and can be used both as a foliar spray and as a drench. Build A Soil's approach is that multiple sources of calcium create the best results when considering immediate and long term needs. Because of the chelation, Grow-Cal used as a drench may also help with the availability of other forms of calcium. Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundant sources of calcium, but it does take time to become bioavailable. Grow-Cal may increase the rate at which calcium carbonate and other forms become plant available. This product is approved for use through the NOP program when dictated by a sap or soil test. How to use Shake well before each use. Apply Grow-Cal in the early morning or evening while there is still dew on the plant. Avoid applying it in direct sunlight when temperatures exceed 86°F (30°C). For even better results, apply it with high nitrogen amino acid products like Pure Protein Dry. Fruit, vegetable and flower gardens: Apply 12-16 oz of Grow-Cal per 1,000 sq. ft. of planting area before planting. Hose end sprayers/injectors work best for this. Soil drench, transplant or watering solution: Dilute 2 oz of Grow-Cal per 1 gallon of water. Use 4 oz (1/2 cup) of the diluted solution per plant every 2-4 weeks. Foliar spray: Dilute 2 oz of Grow-Cal per 1 gallon of water and mist evenly onto plant foliage every 3 to 4 weeks. Water as usual. Guaranteed analysis Derived from: non-synthetic calcium chloride Soluble calcium: 10% Storage and cautions Store in a cool and dark place at room temperature, 68°F to 86°F (20°C-30°C), and out of direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes or open wounds. Not for human consumption. Caution: To avoid the formation of insoluble precipitates, do not mix Grow-Cal with materials containing phosphates or sulfates. Do not apply to the foliage of African Violet plants.
