Among experienced gardeners, superphosphate has already managed to gain trust as an excellent, highly effective remedy.
However, some people notice that it does not produce the expected results in their area.
The reason is not that you bought a low-quality fertilizer. In most cases, the effectiveness is reduced due to improper handling of the product. First of all, it should either be thoroughly dissolved in hot water or you should try to dig it into the soil closer to the root system. But there are some subtleties here too.
What do they consist of?
Soil acidity indicators
It is extremely important to remember that before adding superphosphate, you need to accurately determine the acidity of your soil. If the soil is acidic, then superphosphate simply will not work.
Therefore, first we deoxidize the soil and only after that we begin to add superphosphate.
Water for irrigation
It is known that superphosphate has a prolonged effect, due to which plants receive nutrition for a long period of time. But when using water with high hardness for irrigation, the fertilizer simply will not work.
