So I just finished my soil test. I was noticing a small bit of leave curl and wanted to know where the need was coming from. Now I know. How do I correct for a phosophorus def when when my nitrogen and potash levels are fine? Thanks. | ||

![]() | thanks, I'd rather stay away from the quick fixes though. is there anything a little more organic that I could use? also, my ph is a 7, I wish the test I have could be more accurate but it only broke it down into 4.0-9.0 in whole numbers. but I think that's a good ph though right? | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Should try to get it closer to 6.5, but that shouldn't lock out P. Here's a link to St0neys ph guide. IDK organics real well, but someone should be along who does, maybe Outdoors, if you're lucky. Sorry I can't be more help, good luck.

![]() | Guano is a good source of water soluble organic phosphorus. Different types have different NPK ratios, some highest in N others P including some with almost exclusively P, like this 1-10-0. | ||
