Determining the weight of 100 CDs depends on whether only the CDs are weighed or if the CDs have sleeves or jewel cases. A single CD by itself weighs about 0.58 ounces. Therefore, 100 CDs by themselves weigh 58 ounces.
Plants and animals need nitrogen in order to make proteins. Proteins are essential compounds for healthy growth and fully functioning organisms. However, nitrogen is often in short supply to plants in both natural and agricultural systems. If nitrogen supply limits the growth of plants then the animals which feed on the plants will also suffer.
A plant needs nutrients to survive. Most of these are provided by the soil, but soil varies tremendously in nutrient amounts, soil type, pH, and nutrient availability. The three main nutrients that have been identified as absolutely necessary for plants are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). These three are also known as macronutrients, and are the source of the three numbers commonly found on organic fertilizer labels. The numbers found on our All-Purpose Fertilizer, for example, are 5-5-5. This is the percentage by weight of the N, P, and K found in the fertilizer. So whatâs so important about nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium?
