Question: Based on your soil test, the lab recommends three pounds of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet, PLUS, 2 pounds of actual phosphorus per 1,000

Based on your soil test, the lab recommends three pounds of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet, PLUS, 2 pounds of actual phosphorus per 1,000 square feet. (Remember, Nitrogen is the guiding element) If all you have on hand is bonemeal (2-10-0), how many pounds of bonemeal would you need, per 1,000 sq. ft. to meet the nitrogen needs. (Show your work) If you applied the bone meal at the rate to supply the required Nitrogen, how much EXTRA Phosphorus would you be applying? Remember, you needed some P, so I only want the EXCESS here. (Show your work) If you found some feather meal (14-0-0), how much feather meal and how much bone meal would you put out to apply exactly the required N and P as per a) above? In this case, you will have to start with the P requirement and work it out. (Show your work)
