    Hearty congratulations, could supercede Nobel winner Haber similarly
    feeding billions for years to come except in a much kinder way? Most worthy
    successor. I hope there will be a version for use by domestic gardeners
    too!

    Not running out of phosphorus per se, but instead losing it to places that
    it is difficult to recover (groundwater and the ocean). We never run out of
    phosphorus as mass can neither be created or destroyed, just translocated
    or changed in form.
