Yes, of course.but what I like about TP is the way it makes you re-think
traditional soil-science paradimes and makes you question what you think you
know about soil, fertilisers, SOM,etc

The pH question is just one. Something strange is happening.
As you say little work has been done on alkaline soils and TP
(In fact many soil scientists seem to ignore highly alkaline soils
completely )

Thanks for you valuable inputs Chris.
