In the NPK nutrient triumvirate, potassium gives way to its fellow players during the growing season. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) drive growth and flower formation in spring and summer, supported by potassium (K) in photosynthesis and other physiological processes. The hour of potassium does not strike until autumn, because now it is important to prepare the…
Phosphorus (P) ranks right after nitrogen (N) and even before potassium (K) as one of the vital elements for the growth of plants. Therefore, NPK complete fertilizers mainly contain these 3 elements to supply your ornamental and useful plants. If nitrogen and potassium are available in sufficient quantities while there is a lack of phosphorus, a special…
Iron is one of the many micro-elements without which the nutrient balance of your plants is unbalanced. The element contributes to photosynthesis, the formation of green leaves and takes an active part in the metabolism. Where there is a lack of iron, growth depression and leaf chlorosis are inevitable. Primarily, however, mosses are taking advantage of the hour…
In autumn, the focus on supplying the plants in the ornamental and kitchen garden is different from that during the vegetation phase. In order to equip their garden and lawn for the rigors of winter, experienced hobby gardeners now specifically buy Thomaskali. A nitrogen-rich complete fertilizer would now induce fresh plant shoots that have nothing to oppose…
Should the garden bed or lawn be supplied with lime fertilizer or not, this is the question every hobby gardener asks himself. But just putting the lime on the garden soil is not a good solution. Because whether this needs such nutrients at all can only be determined by a soil analysis. If the soil is very acidic,…
This nutrient element, which occurs naturally in the soil, has different states. While a large part is in a bound form, i.e. bound to clay minerals, in the soil, only a small part is directly available for plants. Because plants can only absorb these nutrients in dissolved form. As a result, potash must be supplied through appropriate potassium…
If the natural nutrient reserves in the soil no longer meet the demand, the plants primarily suffer from a lack of nitrogen. Common symptoms are yellowed leaves or depressed growth on garden plants. A nitrogen fertilizer can quickly fix the problem for your lawn and plants in the garden. With a view of the bulging shelves in specialist…
Due to soil erosion, acid rain and the conversion of organic matter, our garden soils are subject to constant acidification. Important nutrients are extracted from the soil, which inevitably affects the development of the plants. Only a few useful and ornamental plants thrive on poor soils. Moss and weeds grow on these areas. In order to counteract the continuous…
The impressively long list of advantages of green manure ranges from optimizing growth conditions to protecting against erosion and suppressing weeds. Plaice prepared in this way will produce better crop yields in an environmentally friendly way. In flower beds, soil improvement gives depleted beds a beneficial phase of regeneration. Even an inexperienced hobby gardener cannot turn a blind…
The mineral is important for all plants. It strengthens the plant tissue, strengthens the plant as a whole, so that it grows stably and strongly and can defend itself much better against pests and diseases. Patentkali works on all plants, whether roses, perennials, lawns, fruit or vegetables. Magnesium also ensures green leaves and a healthy appearance, which is…
