Phostrogen plant food
Why doesn't Plant Food dissolve fully
Although improved formula Plant Food does dissolve faster a small residue can sometimes be left. This insoluble matter is due to the reaction between two components in the plant food and particularly occurs in hard water areas. This does not reduce the effectiveness of the Plant Food and the residue can be applied to soil where it will break down naturally.
