What about veggies? Is Phosphorus important to them as well?
Oh hai! Have you heard about – zrumplina diy aquaponics (just google it)? Ive seen some amazing things about it and my BF grew cool flowers with it.
Is applying phosphorus in autumn a good time for figs and fruiting trees ? Or would it be better to wait until the end of the frost in February ?
Thanks !
Yeah. no. Potassium is the flower mineral. Phosphorus promotes stem and water vessel health.
What does potassium do?
