Many gardeners as a fertilizer regularly use on their sites superphosphate. Incidentally, I, too, for many years generously sprinkled them their soil at the end of a garden season.
For those who do not know about this - it's kind of like, Universal dressing which promotes rapid growth of cultures. Of course, it should be applied strictly according to instructions, however, even following all the recommendations, in many countries it is recommended not to be used superphosphateDespite all its advantages. About how negatively superphosphate can affect the "life" of the garden, we will talk in this article.
Personally, for myself, I found at least two reasons, Which decided to abandon superphosphate fertilizer beds. first - it is so accelerated cycle of growth and development of plants that fruiting phase in crops such as tomatoes and cucumbers, just swept the speed of light.
Undoubtedly, the rapid maturation of the fruit is good, but I still want to stretch a little time when tomatoes slowly ripening on their bushes, and not blush with lightning speed by the end of August, its appearance resembling October "Brothers".
The second reason is that over time, superphosphate heavily pollutes the soil, Which is why many of the country and refused his application on the sites. This is because in its composition contains a large amount of gypsum. And kind of like, everything would be fine, but this stuff is very bad washed out of the layers of the earth, so just accumulates, and then has a negative impact on the planted garden crops.
Of course, this is purely my personal opinion, but if you also take a look at your landing and want to change something in the care of the site, etc.Try to replace superphosphate organic fertilizingHow I did it - now as fertilizer use only humus grass.
And what do you think? The result I was completely satisfied - humus is no worse than to fertilize the soil, nourishes the plants and also does not cause absolutely no harm vegetable garden. So, superphosphate - is not the only way to secure an excellent harvest and good soil to the site.
