Gary,

Well spoken. I didn't suggest the soil would store the N. If I were putting in a specific crop beyond a family garden sized plot, I would be very fertilizer specific. But the average Joe, putting out a vegetable plot...say 1/4 to 1/2 acre isn't going to be using much fertilizer anyway and what N he will waste is inconsequential. Makes better sense to me to buy one type to use on everything, than to buy 3 or 4 bags of various mixtures, some of which will not be used much at all.

I'm not out to kill space station Earth, but I'm not a greenie tree hugger either. As one professor at Auburn told me, pour the fertilizer to it if you want it to grow. It took nature billions of years to form the topsoil and it took the plow about 150 years to erase most of it. If you want what (soil) remains to produce a crop, the addition of chemical fertilizers is a must.
