Default I need help finding an old link.....

OK, this is a long shot but I hope one of you will remember this:

A few years ago, one of us posted a link to a really terriffic article which explained how certain mineral elements and nutrients work together. The article explained how elements like Phosphorus combine with other minerals and get locked up in the soil. It also explains how substances like Humic Acid loosen up the nutrients and makes them available to the roots. It was written metaphorically as if Phosphorus was a lady at a dance an the other elements were gentleman callers trying to court her.

If no one remembers this then it's probably just my cold medicine talking, but I could swear I saw it here.
