What is the NPK rating for SoilSoup?
It is not possible to rate SoilSoup in terms of NPK. The traditional NPK rating system describes the solubility of a synthetic fertilizer. Synthetic nutrients are readily available to the plant roots for absorption. However, the plant might not be in a need for that particular nutrient at the time. As synthetic nutrients do not retain in the soil very long, they might not be available when needed due to heavy watering or rainfall. The demand for nutrients varies throughout the plantÃs growing cycle. Sunlight, heat, available water and oxygen will affect a plants immediate need for nutrients. When soil microbes are introduced into the soil, they seek out the organic nutrients and convert them for the plants. These digested nutrients retain in the soil, so they are readily available for the plants when needed. They do not wash away with each watering or rainfall. So, in terms of aNPKrating, the more soil microbes present in the soil, the more available nutrients for the plants! Soilsoup
