 o
too much phosphate in native garden from fertiliser

Posted by ryn_k SA (My Page) on

Hi everyone
I have over fertilised my native garden with mushrom compost. I now realise it has too much phosphate and I have already had some kangaroo paw die on my. Some others plants have leaves turning yellow.
Is there anyway I can neutralise the fertiliser? I need to save my plants!
Any tips anyone?

RE: too much phosphate in native garden from fertiliser

Personally I have no experience but I googled up the following article about someone with a similar problem. Not that I would rush into anything since nitrogen might not be the right "fix"
Is it too late to simply remove as much of the compost as you can? I thought you might also contact someone like Kings Park in WA whose horticulturalists might help, or even your State's main botanical gardens/ department of primary industries who would have qualified people who may have suggestions.

Here is a link that might be useful: a nitrogen solution
