    Got my soil test back tonight from my buddy.

    The pH is a little low at 5.3, and calling for just under 300# of lime for my little plot. I also need to add 60# of both potassium (K) and phosphorus (P).

    I can buy lime in 40# bags, so that is taken care of. However my local store doesn't carry straight K or P. My buddy sells both, but only by the ton. Is there anywhere anyone would recommend to aquire these?

    I would look for a fertilizer dealer in your area, they should have a P and K only mix of some sort they sell in 50 pound bags.
    I get all mine from a company called willbur Ellis here is a link to see if they have any locations near you, if they do call them and tell them what you are looking for and be specific you need it in bags. If they have any thing in your area they can most likely help you out! http://ag.wilburellis.com/Locations/pages/Home.aspx

    You might also try a local garden center.
