Calphos Soft Rock Phosphate is a natural phosphate fertilizer made from finely ground soft rock. It is OMRI-listed for organic use and is especially effective in acid soil and slightly acidic environments. This product is a reliable source of calcium phosphate and trace minerals that gradually release into the soil. The slow release of nutrients supports healthy plant growth, improves soil fertility, and provides benefits that last for the long term.

Why Use Calphos Soft Rock Phosphate?

Unlike many synthetic phosphate fertilizers, Calphos is a natural phosphate source that feeds plants steadily over time. Because it gradually releases phosphorus, it does not wash away easily with rain. Instead, it stays in the root zone, helping plants build strong root systems and maintain healthy soil structure. This makes it an excellent choice for growers focused on enhancing soil naturally while reducing the need for frequent reapplication.

Calphos contains about 20% P₂O₅, with 3% immediately releasing phosphorus for quick results and the rest breaking down slowly for long term benefits. It also provides around 18% calcium, which helps maintain proper soil pH and supports optimal growth.

Key Benefits of Calphos Soft Rock Phosphate

  • Balanced Nutrition: Supplies phosphorus and calcium phosphate in a form that plants can use steadily.
  • Slow Release Performance: A true slow release fertilizer that feeds plants for up to 5 years.
  • Supports Healthy Soil Ecology: Works well when mixed with organic matter, encouraging microbial activity and improving soil structure.
  • Minimizes Nutrient Loss: Reduces leaching and keeps nutrients available in the root zone.
  • Versatile Applications: Useful for row crops, orchards, trees, and general soil-building programs.

Application Guidelines

For best results, always start with a soil test to understand the nutrient needs and recommended application rates for your soil type and crops.

  • Field Use: Spread about 1 ton per acre on phosphorus-deficient or acid soil.
  • Tree & Orchard Use: Apply 1–10 lbs of Calphos in each planting hole, mixing it well with the surrounding soil.
  • Pre-Planting or Blending: Incorporate into the soil before planting or blend with compost and organic matter for a balanced amendment.

Because Calphos gradually releases nutrients, it provides both immediate and lasting results, reducing the need for repeated fertilizer use.

A Sustainable Choice for Plant Growth

Calphos Soft Rock Phosphate is derived from ancient marine deposits, giving it a natural balance of phosphorus, calcium, and trace minerals. By combining these nutrients, it helps create fertile soils that support healthy root systems, vigorous crops, and healthy plant growth.

Its natural composition makes it one of the most reliable phosphate fertilizers for gardeners and farmers who want to focus on enhancing soil rather than relying on quick fixes.

Must Read before Purchasing!!!! Height is lost if you use this base!!!!
Size: 100LBS
I was so very excited about this for our umbrella - and then I put it together. I called my adult son to come and take a look - I had to be doing something wrong. To our dismay, I was not. The lowest pole in the umbrella system has 4 welded pieces with holes meant to connect to the legs, thus stabilizing the structure. The lowest pole measures (guestimate) 3 feet. When you choose this system, you do not use the original cross-bars, nor the original lowest pole with the 4 welded pieces. Rather, you use a newly provided lowest piece roughly measuring a foot. In doing so, the structure loses a total of almost 2 feet. For average-height individuals, this would not be a problem. For individuals 6' or greater, this is quite a problem. My son is 6'6. My husband is 6'2. I really wanted the portability of the product. However, we will be returning it for the kind that rest on the cross-bars. I wish someone had mentioned this in the reviews I read and saved me the trouble.

Bully proof?!
Size: 5 in
We have the cutest little pit/lab mix who destroys stuffed toys in about two seconds flat. It’s always a HUNT to find toys he won’t instantly shred. This brand has some of the best! They were in FiveBelow for a while and it was the only brand that stood up to him initially. He finally got through the first only after MONTHS so we bought a few back ups and they’re still going strong months later! They’re also not super heavy so these end up being the toys we play fetch with most often! 100% will be buying more in this line in the future!

When this chew arrived, it immediately became a favorite. It seems sturdy and is soft enough to be dental friendly.

My dogs finally chewed pieces off of these bones but it took forever for them to do it and they didn’t chew very much off! These are great and I will buy more!
