Hi Eric,

You wanted me to let you know about the NPK on the potting soil.
Here are the ingredients listed on the bag concerning that.

Nitrogen 0.07%
0.04% Ammoniacal Nitrogen
0.03% Nitrate Nitrogen
Available phosphate (P205) 0.01%
Soluble potash (k20) 0.03%
Derived from: polymer-coated ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate; calcium phosphate, and potassium sulfate.
A portion of the nitrogen, phosphate and potash sources have been coated to provide 0.03% coated slow release

Hope this helps, as it is confusing to me.

Bonnie
