SP helps promote higher populations of soil microorganisms and is especially useful when transplanting seedlings.  This is a great source of phosphorus for underground vegetables like onions, potatoes, etc.

Because SP is a natural source of Phosphorus it doesn’t leach away and must be mix with the soil to gain its effectiveness. It is insoluble and long lasting
