[Terrapreta] inorganic plant nutrients

[Richard Haard]

Yes Sean, as a side note after I wrote that latest posting of mine I  
got to wondering whether most of the potassium, phosphorus are  
present in our farm soils strictly because the local dairy farmers  
have been dumping their liquid manure for the last 30+ years. Now I  
am interested to find a site of this soil type that I know has not  
received this treatment as comparison.
