I heard on a radio show this weekend that here in these limestone soils, that rock phosphate is great for using when you transplant veges to the garden, so I was wondering if it's also good for other plants. Don't know why it wouldn't be, but thought I should check first.
I'm an organic gardener and not sure if this thread belongs here or in the organic forum.
Rock phosphate on plumeria transplants
Super thrive or vitamin b1 I think is what is used for that. You get it at Lowes never heard of limestone. This stops the plants from going into shock. I moved a 12 ft orange tree lost the dirt from the roots it was bone dry. Lost roots too brought it home and soaked it in b1 and planted it doing way better than I would ever imagined. Every 2 weeks I give it a gallon of this mixture I know this works and it would be organic too.
Thanks for your answer Danasplants. Limestone is the bedrock for much of the Texas hill country which is where I live. It makes the soil very alkaline and not friendly to many plants. Fighting the high ph that results is a constant battle because the high ph makes is hard to plants to absorb nutrients even if they are in the soil. I've heard of using B1 and I am wondering if one would be better than the other because of our high ph. I guess I should try this question in the organic forum.
