[QUOTE="martian, post: 7324171, member: 801"] Not only rocks...clay has a very high CEC and will lock up no end of P & K and other nutrients. Fungi and bacteria are your friends here, that's why a healthy soil (which will be humming with microbial activity), doesn't need more added. We haven't put any bagged P &K on for ten years or so, indices are stable or rising, soil life is improving all the while. If you do add fertiliser, the mycorrhizae will shut up shop, lose/lose situation. Most agronomists are still thinking in the old 'extractive' mindset. Ignore their advice! [/QUOTE]
