Is there enough organic nutrients in this soil?
August 31, 2010
Question by Tequila Sunrise & Bloodshot Eyes: Is there enough organic nutrients in this soil?
Im growing a small little garden this year. its up in the forest, so i dug up all the soil and got rid of it, because there were huge boulders everywhere and the soil was just generally not fertile and to acidy. So what i did was dig up a lot of the dark top soil i could find around the forest, and crushed it up and it looks to have a lot of decaying material in it. I also added 3 bags of scott’s premium organic compost with manure added, and i plan to add a couple more bags. there is also a big bag of peat moss in there too to hold moisture, and some ashes because peatmoss is kinda acidy. I also added grass clippings and worked it into the soil, and a couple handfuls of bone meal.. i plan on getting some worm castings as well, since they are like gold to plants…
im planting my plants into the soil this weekend and they need to be high in nitrogen until auguest when they start flowering, then i will start with a organic liquid fertilizer rich in phosphorus… but until then, is my soil rich enough so i dont have to add any fertilizers? and i will ONLY use organic solutions because these are plants i will be “ingesting”..

Organic means that something comes from an organism. Organic nutrients are nutrients which are coming from dead organisms of dead parts of organisms.
The nutrients that are dissolved in the water that plants take up by their roots, consists of molecules. Molecules contain elements that are arranged in the periodic table of elements.
Chemically their is no difference between NO3- that was formed out of organic material or NO3- that was artificially made by men. The plants do not distinguish.
Organic food is a marketing slogan to make consumers feel good. Organic nutrients are being released very slowly so that it lasts longer to come disposable for the plants.
But it is your choice to use organic fertilizers and to worry if there are enough for your plants.
Good cropping and health and a lot of wealth!

Answer by Amy R
Round-up and other poisons do tend to stay in the soil to some degree – if you have enough sunlight, I would “solarize it” by putting down black plastic in some areas and leaving it for two sunny days, then move it to the next area. This soaks up the heat and “cooks” the weeds and odd grasses – it is natural and will also reduce some viral , bacteria and fungal problems, but it does take a little time to do it. It also will kill a good number of annual seeds lurking on the top of your soil, while many weed killers will not work on non-germinated seeds.

August 31, 2010
Question by Korleone: In 1 gram of epsom salts, what percentage is magnesium and what percentage is sulphur?
Trying to mix my own fertilizer and I require 48ppm of Magnesium.
I think about 9.7% is Magnesium.
Not sure about the Sulphur.
Any ideas?
John A: I wasn’t sure if Epsom Salts might be MgSO4·7H2O.
Also,
if you’re right then 23% of Epsom Salts is Magnesium. The box says 10%. I don’t know why.
