Soft Rock Phosphate
Put minerals back into your soil with this powdered supplement
Everyday, plants take more and more minerals out of the soil to grow. Minerals such as Nitrogen and Phosphate are essential for photosynthesis and keep the plant healthy and resistant to virus and disease. Without the proper mineral intake, healthy plants will start to show signs of stress.
Soft Rock Phosphate is a 100% natural powdered form of the element Phosphorous, which plants need to grow strong and healthy. Soft Rock Phosphate is highly soluble and is perfect for soils that have been depleted of minerals.
Soft Rock Phosphate is a great addition to any soil lacking this vital mineral, and comes in this easy use to powdered base. Safe to store anywhere, Soft Rock Phosphate application is fast and efficient, and can be used safely around people, pets and wildlife
If your garden or flowerbed needs an extra boost, order Soft Rock Phosphate and get your N-P-K levels back where they need to be.
Application:
For best results, sprinkle Soft Rock Phosphate around the base of the plants, bushes, shrubs, or flowers you wish to treat. One 25 lb bag can treat over 1000 feet of top soil.
How plants use Phosphorus Phosphorous is found in most soils, with most phosphates being located at the soil surface. Phosphorus must go through the same type of cycle as Nitrogen for plants to be able to use it, so soil bacteria must break phosphorus down so plants can absorb it. Without this bacterial activity, most phosphorus will go unused by plants.
However, soil alkalinity also helps determine whether or not plants get enough phosphates, as too high or too low an acid amount will cause a chemical reaction to take place that locks up the phosphates and makes them unusable by plants.
Other factors that prevent plants from taking up phosphorus include:
- Lack of oxygen
- Too little soil moisture
- Extreme temperatures
- Not enough broken down organic materials
Organic materials such as grass clippings and debris can help increase bacterial activity, which breaks down the phosphorous and makes it usable for plants. Additionally, using soil conditioners such as
Soft Rock Phosphate can also give your plants a readily available phosphate material which will let them grow bigger, stronger, and healthier than they ever have before.

More information about Phosphorus Phosphorus plays an integral part in how plants function and grow, and is known to help plants with many of their most important tasks including:
- Photosynthesis: The process of making food from sunshine
- Respiration: The way plants “breathe”
- Metabolism: helps with energy transfer and storage
- Moisture Retention: Phosphorus helps plants use water more effectively
- Growth Regulation: Higher amounts of Phosphorus increase roots, vegetables and fruit production
Plants that don't get enough Phosphorous are easy to detect. Sporting weak and spindly stems, plants with phosphorous deficiencies usually see their growth stunted or shortened. Older leaves on the plant may even turn a dark bluish-green and the end result is that the plant’s ability to produce seeds, flowers, and fruits is also greatly diminished. Low Phosphorus can greatly reduce plant productivity, even causing some plants to die for lack of enough of this important mineral.
Surprisingly, of all phosphorus in existence on Earth, less than 0.01% becomes available for plant use because of improper levels of soil pH. Using
Soft Rock Phosphate on your plants is the best way to ensure they get phosphorous they can use to stay healthy and strong.
