Thinking about feeding my organic outdoor grow some extra phosphorus in anticipation of flowering, I decided to take a look at what I have on hand instead of going out and spending more money on fish bone meal. I decided to give Tennessee Brown Rock a try--have most of a 25# bag on hand, some of which I'd used as a soil amendment before transplanting into the ground in June.
In any case, I sprinkled some around the root zone of each plant and watered it in (it's a very find brown dust). Seemed to soak right in to the soil. Lots of phosphorus (27%) and calcium too, plus other trace minerals. Supposed to slow-release and extra won't bind up other nutrients.
Just curious if anyone else has tried this product as a topdressing for flowering. I'm thinking this may do the job nicely. Sounds like fish bone meal works well to but I've heard a few stories of animals attracted to the smell and digging up the roots.
