                                Mixing concentrated calcium and phosphate fertilizers incorrectly is one of the most common mistakes in horticulture, often resulting in an insoluble precipitate that makes both nutrients unavailable to plants. Understanding the proper mixing order is crucial for preventing nutrient lockout and ensuring optimal plant health.
