It is not available, period! While there might be an excess of phosphorous,
that doesn't mean plants don't need bio-available phosphorous to thrive.
Our plants respond great to bone meal. I'm sure if we test our soil it would
be high in phosphorous.


We are in agreement. That's why I grow native and adapted plants which have the
capacity to adapt to our calciferous soils and levels of whatever element is
overabundant.
