Basic Ingredients

Soil Logic uses a number of key ingredients to blend the best fertilisers for every situation. Each mineral has its own key characteristic that makes it an important part of any mix

• Calcium is the most important mineral in the soil trucking all minerals to plant
• Boron (the steering wheel) should always be added with calcium
• Phosphorus ( the Fuel of Life ) is essential for vigorous early root growth, effective pollination and seed formation.
• Magnesium is the basis of chlorophyll turning sunlight into energy in the plants engine room.
• Nitrogen is the most abundant nutrient required for plant growth.
• Sulphur is the fourth major nutrient in terms of plant requirements converting nitrates into amino acids playing a role in the formation of chlorophyll.
• Potassium is the cellular spark plug and is only second in terms of quantity taken up by plant.
• Manganese is responsible for the correct functioning of chloroplasts
• Iron governs the movement of magnesium into the chlorophyll
• Zinc is essential for phosphorous up take and plays a role in the formation of chlorophyll
• Copper protects from fungal disease and increases uptake of nitrogen.
