CALCIUM SOLUTION

This recipe comes from the Korean Natural Farming (KNF) tradition where it is called Water Soluble Calcium (WSC).  The liquid form of calcium is immediately accessible by plants.

​

Calcium is particularly important for plants when they reach the reproductive stage of their life cycle.  So if you want more and better flowers and tastier more nutritious fruit, this is the solution for you!
