Interesting. Probably useful. I bookmarked it.

However, it needs a spell check. I looked at ONE entry at random:

"Microelements - The biggies (elements) are N+P+K; Nitrogen+Phosphorus+Potassium; Calcium; Sulfur; Magnesium; They are required for life in higher amounts. Then we go to the group called micro-elements--MICRO ELEMENTS--PLEASE DO NOT CALL THEM MINER, THEY ARE NOT MINER. They are required in very very low amounts. Copper, Chlorine, Boron, Nickle, Molitinum, Zinc, Iron, Manganese. You should know just alittle about what each one does. Just to be on the safe side. There is a few plants that we think may be able to use--Si - those are rare and in the south; Se-; Co.(silocone-salinium-cobalt). Some of the above are required by the fungi and not so much by the tree. See ?Food.? See "Essential Elements." "

There are at least 6 bad spellings there, and one grammar problem.

Thank you for your input.

Is that better?

I hope this is better. Again, I appriciate your time.

Microelements - There are 17 essential elements (3 + 14) for trees that we know of. We break them down to two categories. Macroelements and Microelements. Macroelements are the big guys - N+P+K which is Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Calcium, Sulfur and Magnesium are also microelements. They are required for life in higher amounts. On a weight basis, about 99% of most plants are made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur. Then we go to the group called microelements. They should not be called minor elements. Indeed, when they are lacking, life stops. They are needed in very low amounts. Some microelements are Copper, Chlorine, Boron, Nickel, Molybdenum, Zinc, Iron, Manganese. Sodium [Na] and Cobalt [Co] may also be required in very micro amounts. Cobalt may be essential for the mycorrhizal fungi. Selenium is found in some desert plants. Nickel is required by the bacteria that form galls on leguminous trees. The bacteria fix nitrogen. Silicon may be required by some plants and animals. Some soils are lacking in some essential elements. Boron [Bo] must be added to grow pines in some areas of the world. A healthy tree depends on the correct amounts of essential elements in the soil. You should know just a little about what each one does. Just to be on the safe side. Some of the above are required by the fungi and not so much by the tree. See "Food." See "Essential Elements."

A new element? Alert the media! (or at least Tom Lehrer)

Surely you mean "molybdenum."

he he, everyone knows Iron is a miner element. Gold is a 49er element.

I have Molitinum processor in my computer, and yes they do grow on trees.

I already made the changes.

Don't want to start a war, here. However, I DID chose that listing at random and wonder if it was just the (bad) luck of the draw, of if the entire -- most useful -- document might need a thorough spell checking. The micro-n* fix looks fine.
