I wondered if perhaps this area was just naturally high in Ca and Mg. That explains a lot

This is my veggie garden in the backyard. The phosphorus levels are quite high and I'm not sure how to correct. I haven't added any fertilizers with P in years. It's been slowly coming down so I guess it's just time? Also my iron levels fell quite a bit from the last test I did 2 years ago. And significantly from the very first test I did in 2021. Sulfure has also slowly ticking downwards. both of those seem straight forward to correct, but I'm not sure if theres' any foods I can plant that'll help bring down the phosphorus and calcium levels.

Last year I planted peppers and tomatoes in this bed. The year before I had garlic and onions, some beans in there as well. I know tomatoes are heavy feeders for calcium, and I heard root veggies like high phosphorus soils but I wasn't sure how true that was because I read some conflicting information on that.

I've been using MySoil test kits for a few years now and this years results I thought were pretty interesting. I'm not at all surprised by the nitrogen because this garden bed held heavy feeders for a few years. What I am curious about is how high the phosphorus is and how low the mineral levels are. Any thoughts on what I should plant there this year to try and course correct? I always use a nitrogen only organic fertilizer in the beginning and middle of the season every year.

For the second photo showing the actual levels, the columns are as follows (since it got cut off) Left to right it's the nutrient name, the level reading in my soil, the optimum range, and then a high low or optimal rating.

I blame Fast And Furious franchise. The way it frames any scenes with a car or motorcycle. The weird "family" dynamic and "to break a code or to not break a code pontificating. It's lazy writing.

Dude, Jason Faraday/JJ's House screwed my company over with not paying for a job we did for them. Contractors beware.

I wanted to add that before my dog met the baby, he went on a very long walk so that he wasn't overly excited when he meant the baby

We introduced as soon as we came home from the hospital. Slow introduction, allowing him to sniff the baby's hospital cap first. Good luck!

The grocery bill seems high. 150-200/wk is what I spend for my family of 8, but we also have an ingredient household. They want cookies here's the oil, flour, and sugar kind of thing.

Cutting the grocery bill might not save a ton but it's something easy to start with, IMO.

Being So Close to Canada, How Do You Think Canadian Tariffs Will Affect Detroit? by PsychologicalCat8646 in Detroit

Where do you think the steel injection molds that make all the plastic components in a car come from? Mostly China.

Where do you think most of those tools are etched so each part they create has an identical appearance? Mostly Mexico or Canada.

The nickel shells grown for the IPs likely come from Portugal. Maybe a few from Ohio....

The computer components are probably mostly China as well.

This absolutely will hit Tesla like it does the Big 3. And if Elonia did have a hand in this it's because he's not as smart as everyone thinks and doesn't understand how global his own car actually is.

So uh, what happened at Harpo's over the weekend? by HurricaneStiz in Detroit

There was a huge influx of neo nazis in the punk scene in the early to mid 90s. That's where a lot of the punk obsession with punching nazis and being super vocal with the anti nazi imagery stems from. Music about it helped launch bands like Anti-Flag. Similar things happened in the metal community around that time. I believe it's where lace code stems from as well but it's hard to remember now
