Thanks Caloosamusa. So I think you understand that I am a strong advocate of improving the soil environment and I'm in (sometimes loud) agreement with everyone else on this issue. The point I was trying to make is that some consumers believe -- or have been sold on the idea that soil improvement is the only thing necessary for fruiting plants to reach their full crop potential. This is certainly not the case unless the soil somehow contains 1 lb of available nitrogen and 1.5 lbs of available potash on an annual basis for say, each hardwood fruit tree or banana plant. For subtropicals, the ratios are closer to 2/3 lb potash for each 1 lb of Nitrogen.
