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."

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.
