Have you noticed that retail lawn fertilizers often have no P anymore?

I don't think that has a whole lot to do with the availibility of Phos as much as the "clean water" regs most states have now. Phos runoff is said to be a major polutant and causes the "blooms" in lakes in the hot weather. That's also why phos has been taken out of most detergents.
