| Hi Alan, I think Steve's right, sometimes it's difficult to 
find the right people.  A fairly prominent gardening newspaper, 
put out by the extension office indicated soils in our area (KS) have 
plenty of available phosphorous.  When I finally did a soil test, the test 
came back very low in P, very surprising.  I ended up putting almost 
300 lbs./acre of Diammonium Phosphate and this last summer it moved the 
available P up to medium, at around 20 PPM (if I remember correctly).  Even 
if there were no known soil problems I would still recommend a soil test.  
It might reveal a low level of an essential micronutrient.  It's not a lot 
of money at around 20 bucks.  And who knows Steve might find it's 
something simple like too much Na. Mark
