I understand what the numbers on fertilizer bags mean - I think. Isn't it
the ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium/Potash? If a bag has
16-16-16 on it, isn't that the same as 10-10-10 or even 1-1-1? It must not
the same, but why not? Can someone explain the basics about fertilizers.

Thanks
