- In today's episode we look at calcium and the importance of this nutrient in plant growth. Other than the primary nutrients - Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium, plants need secondary nutrients like magnesium, calcium and sulfur for optimum plant growth.
We look at Calcium sources like organic fertilizer, bone meal, garden lime, dolomitic lime, gypsum, seaweed, calcium nitrate as calcium sources for plants and how to apply these calcium products in your home garden. Adding calcium to soil improves the quality and helps plants build good cell walls, leaves and prevent blossom end rot by absorbing these nutrients from the soil.

Bone meal. YES! This is a very useful video...thank you !!
Dear CG, Happy Thanksgiving!
Marble grains added to soil is also a great long term source of calcium for tomatoes. It breaks down very well in slightly acidic soil, doesn’t change ph, is N free, releases co2 which reacts with iron and produces iron bicarbonate, a digestible form of Fe, it also releases Ca locally around grains so it doesn’t react with all phosphorus in soil and doesn’t cause phosphorus deficiency. It is possible to boost release of calcium by watering with water and (a bit!) vinegar mix. Cheers ✌️
Can I use lime scale(adding to soil/compost) that was removed from my water tanks ?
It was quite informative. Thanks a lot. Yet I would like to know how often it needs to be applied in a potted plant.
Nice advise thanks a lot 👍
can you add this to young vegetable seedlings? Also if i just fertilized my seedlings should i wait before adding the calcium
Thanks for good impo God Bless
Thanks for the video helped me alot!
Glad it helped! Happy Gardening!
Excellent.
Great information
Concise yet full of content. Subscribed immediately.
With the Gypsum towards the end the ingredients add up to more than 100%.
How do you actually interpret those numbers? Its important to me as I need to know how much of a desired nutrient Im buying and more importantly how to compare across different manufacturers tables so I do not end up with unintended toxic levels of another nutrient?
Very nice...
Informative...
Best kind for established gardens
Highly awaited... Thank you
Nice to know! Happy Gardening!
Nice informative video
Thanks you 🙏
I like your videos, very informative and well explained
New subscriber here...very comprehensive video.

Thank you!
@@CaliforniaGardening a
I watered my tomatoes with calcium nitrate per your instructions, appears to have burned a few blossoms. Can I add it directly to the buckets instead of spraying the foliage?
I'm using now for the first time Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) on pepper plant because the leaves are small and crickled. 1/2 tease spoon for every 2000 mL ,I'm doing it right ?
I would like to know if calcium application is needed for succulents too ?
Nice video sir

How does calcium carbonatite figure into the calcium scale for plants?
Any questions I have and you make a video! Thanks 💗😊
Very useful. can we use powdered expiry tablets.
The chilly plants are flowering but no chillies have appeared as yet. There are many flowers that have come but till date not a single chilly in sight. Could you please let me know what to do.
Gypsum garden and plaster of Paris are same things?
Plaster of Paris can be use in garden or can be mix in soil for pot?
How do you use KELP for treating bell peppers with Calcium deficiency?
Dr. Earth makes really high quality products :-)
Can we use edible choona (the one we use with paan or betel leaves) ? I believe it’s calcium chloride.
Hi there can you please let me know what amount of seaweed to be used in 1 gallon of water and i m unable to find the liquid form i have small granular form your reply will be highly appreciated
We had our soil tested (lawn) and our calcium was off the charts high. It was listed at the high end off "Excessive" on the graph and as 4616 lbs/acre in the description. Is there anything (organic) we can do to offset the high calcium or is it even necessary? I guess I should plant some tomatoes and peppers. :-)
Dr. Earth is one of my favorite fertilizers.
I agree, they make great products
Mine too.
yes I love it!!!
But does calcium salts end up with a non reactive bi product into soil? Which can not be reversed and hence damage ths soil permanently? Please explain.
@Californiagardening can you please grow custard apple.
How frequently do we need to use gypsum in pots and its quantity for 10 or 12 inch pots. If using by mixing in water, how much qty should be mixed in 5 litre water and what would be the frequency to use in liquid form
Sir . How often do we have to use calcium nitrate for chilli plants.
Hi Sir please guide how to use Calcium hydroxide as fertilizer with safe use
Do plants need fertilizer in cold winter months ? What,are do s and don't s as far as fertilizers in cold winter months ?
But calcium nitrate may vary pH of soil? Also seabead extract (3ml/litre of water) may be the best option. Please reply
I have been using egg shells. We consume lot of eggs, we save the shell.. let them dry and grind them to power in a mixer and sprinkle a handful once in 2 months or so.
Yes eggshells are good and release calcium over time. It takes time to breakdown so keep adding it to your soil!
I was just getting ready to ask about this! Thanks!
I too use egg shells.
You can toast egg shells and add them to an organic vinegar, not malt, something like Brown rice or white wine, apple all work well.
Toast the egg shells until light brown, add these to a Mason jar and pour over the vinegar. The solution will begin to fizz as the acid in the vinegar begins to etch the Calcium from the shells.
Once it has stopped fizzing the solution is ready to use as a water soluble CaO. Mix with water and foliar feed every 8-10 days esp in the summer where there is little to no rain.
You can also make a sulpho-calcium brew which is very effective on tomatoes or vines.
100L water
20kg powered sulphur
Lime or Slaked/ Quicklime 10kg
Mix the sulphur with water in a vessel 20L water add the sulphur stir with wooden stick.
In another vessel mix the lime with the remaining 80L water and stir until well mixed.
Add the sulphur mix to the lime, never the other way around. Stir well and use immediately for best effect.
You can further modify this blend with Copper, Zinc and Magnesium Sulphate as well as Borax to produce a very effective fungicide
Can you apply bone meal gympus lime altogether or they are alternatives.
Bone meal, yes but it takes a long time to decompose. So keep adding it in your soil
The products you've shown are not sold in my country.....I've noticed some leaves on a tomato plants curled upwards and a stem of leaves almost at the top and bottom started to get brown....I taught the curling is from too much water because it the rainy season here..I am growing organic there is only a liquid organic fertilizer sold at the store and it's very expensive for a small bottle...I used the chalk way before the curling started....what can I used from my kitchen to get calcium to the plants...thank you
You can use a calcium supplement like Tums from the pharmacy, available everywhere, provides a lot of good calcium
Eggshells.
Can you use calcium lactate?
Thank you! Great info! May I know if eggshells and bonemeal or crab shells can be used and how to apply, please?
Yes bone meal is good but can take up to 3 years to break down. I usually add eggshells to my compost and they do release nutrients slowly
@@CaliforniaGardening thank you! 😊
You can also use crushed or pulverized egg shells
Does the seaweed and gypsum raise the ph of the soil like lime?
No they dont
Whether ok to use a tiny amt chuna/ calcium in a gallon of water for gardening.. chuna is widely consumed orally in asian countries like india / Pakistan with betel leaves
Can we use calcium nitrate on flower plant?
Can one apply the pellets of calcium nitrate directly to the ground?
It would be better to dissolve it and apply it like he showed. There's also a three part fertilizer called MasterBlend where calcium nitrate is one of the parts.
I just collect ALL my egg shells grind them in the blender with some water and spread it all around the garden. I will also drop a little extra in the holes of any tomato or pepper plants while planting. It all adds up over time.
Yes it does!
Can the people supplement calcium carbonate be used for plants? Thanks for your time
You can, but calcium carbonate will raise your pH really high.
What is calcium califlower spray

Is Calcium carbonate ok for the garden in powder form if so how do I use it
I don't use calcium carbonate (baking soda) yet, but you can use it to control some insects
Sir can we use calcium nitrate for the seed starting mix
Please let me know
Yes you should use a calcium source but not Calcium Nitrate. I just uploaded a video to explain gypsum as a calcium source: th-cam.com/video/T4IaNM3hlZQ/w-d-xo.html
How about potassium chloride
Can calcium hydroxide be used as foliar spray?
Better to use Calcium Nitrate
Edible salt will do the work?
No, edible salt (Sodium chloride) is not good for plants
If u ask me calcium is needed more than npk
Can we add Plaster of Paris to the soil?
Plaster of Paris is very alkaline
What about bone meal ??
Shall I add Calcium Nitrate to hydroponic system?
Not sure about hydroponics but its water soluble so why not!
@@CaliforniaGardening Thank you, I'll try it out. Good day
Another commercial that interested

I need help to solve this problem. I have pictures of leaves. If you give me your email address i can forward pictures to you.
Your video is very informative.
Well, personally i simply apply rabbit urine. It's rich in nitrogen and calcium. So powerful is rabbit urine that you need to dilute with water using a ratio of 1:5, otherwise you will scotch the plants. Rabbit urine is also good because its a natural way of fertilizing your plants, an excellent option for organic farming enthusiasts. As it is 100% natural, there is no waiting people from day of application to first harvest date - you can even harvest soon after applying it. Another advantage of rabbit urine is that it also works as an insecticide. The strong smell that it produces while applying it and its sour and burning sensation kills garden pests such as aphids.

Calcium liquid kitne water ke saath de ?
Bhai Hindi me bolo
Egg 🥚 shell
Why not use your egg shels for Calcium? I grind them and mix it with my soil far before I plant my plant so it can be assorbed by the soil before I plant my plant. This way I reduce my garbadge and give back to my soil...
Yes I do that for my compost bin. The eggshells are slow release and can take a while to release nutrients...so yes keep building your soil!
@@CaliforniaGardening I have been told to never put egg shels in my compost because it greatly reduceses the compost speed, thats why I add it straight to my soil. So it can slowly degrade there... I advise anyone, never put egg shels in your compost!!!
Can you use calcium oxide?
I've never used it, there are better sources of calcium
Thank you
