Sources of phosphorus (P205). Bone products, one of the earliest sources of phosphorus for fertilizing plants, are available in three forms:
- bone meal (ground bone softened by steam under pressure) - acidulated bone (ground bone treated with sulfuric acid) - ground bone (bones cooked but not steamed).
Bone meal is the form most often used as a plant food. The meal from unsteamed bones may contain 20 to 22 percent phosphorus, while that from steamed bones will contain from 23 to 30 percent P2O5. Rate of use for soils low in phosphorus is about 2 pounds per 100 square feet. Bone meal is commonly used as a source of phosphorus in livestock feeds and is generally available from livestock feed suppliers.
Rock phosphate is made by grinding a natural rock containing one or more calcium phosphate minerals. It is used either directly after grinding or after concentration as a phosphorus fertilizer. Rock phosphate normally contains between 25 and 30 percent phosphorus. Rock phosphate is more effective in acid soils and relatively ineffective on alkaline soils due to its low solubility. It is most useful as an addition in composting manure and organic materials. Soils low in phosphorus may require ground rock phosphate at about 2 to 4 pounds per 100 square feet of garden soil. When applying with manure or compost, use about 2-1/2 pounds per 25 pounds of manure or compost.
Sources of potassium (potash, K2O). Wood ashes may contain from 4 to 10 percent potassium. In general, they average about 5 percent potassium with as much as 23 percent calcium. Because of this, they produce an alkaline reaction on the soil. Since they go quickly into solution, you should use them with care. Continued use may raise the pH of the soil, making it too alkaline unless adjustments are made. Use wood ashes at a rate of about 2-1/2 pounds per 100 square feet of garden area. Do not soak ashes in water before application or the potassium will be lost. Do not apply wood ashes if the soil pH is over 6.5. Apply ashes at least 3 weeks before planting seeds. Coal ashes are not beneficial to plant growth.
Greensand is sometimes recommended as a source of potassium but is not readily available in many areas. It is a hydrated salt of iron and potassium silicate and contains about 6 percent potassium, which is very slowly available to plants.
Seaweed can be the name for any plant that grows in the ocean, but the material used for fertilizer is usually made from brown or red algae. Giant kelp is a seaweed that was harvested for both fertilizer and explosives during World War I. Kelp contains 20 to 25 percent potassium chloride, but the seaweed that is normally available for use as a fertilizer contains from 4 to 13 percent potassium. Although seaweed was once commonly used as a fertilizer, availability is now relatively limited.

Dynamic lifter is awesome for prepping soil for outdoor grows.
It's almost all we used to use for bush grows in West Oz.
