Hello to our Dear readers.
We hope this finds you as well as you could possibly be? With the change in seasons upon us and the start of the school year ahead. We got you covered with short informative posts about how we can make an impact together. First of all I would like to ask you to take a moment to follow us on Social Media, this means a lot to us, and improves our visibility to a wider audience. Here is a quick Link to our Facebook Page and our Instagram Page.
Introduction
Phosphorus is essential for plant health, playing a key role in cell division and shoot development. Without enough phosphorus, plants can suffer from stunted growth and even develop reddish discoloration on their stems and leaves. Traditionally, rock phosphate has been the go-to source for this critical nutrient.
Why Rock Phosphate?
Rock phosphate, a natural mineral, is the primary ingredient in many fertilizers. Historically, it was applied directly to soil to correct pH levels and supply phosphorus to plants. However, with the rise of chemical fertilizers, rock phosphate use declined in favor of faster, synthetic options. Unfortunately, this shift has had significant environmental consequences, including soil degradation, eutrophication, and a larger carbon footprint.
A Sustainable Path Forward
At TerraSoil, we’re committed to reviving natural growing practices. New research shows that by harnessing the power of microorganisms—especially phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB)—we can make phosphorus more bioavailable to plants without relying on chemical fertilizers. These microbes help unlock phosphorus stored in the soil, promoting healthier plants and reducing environmental harm. By focusing on living soils filled with beneficial organisms, we can create more sustainable agricultural systems.
Our pre filled super soil pot takes all this research and more into account. We pre-inoculated all our super soil mixes with a range of solubilizing and other beneficial microbes, ensuring only the essential soluble nutrients are available for the plant.
