I read today that 30% of the worlds fertilizer passes through the strait of Hormuz…

I went online and ordered a few pounds of potassium nitrate and potassium sulfate. I had dipped in to my last bags of them and decided to order now and a bit more as well…

Hoping things resolve quickly there, but ordering now seemed not the worse idea in the world…

I wouldn't sweat it too much.
If we run into a plant fertilizer shortage, I think aquarium plants probably the least of your issues. Atleast the extremely tiny amount they consume.

I am not sweating it too much, but I did buy 2 pounds of each, which should cover me for 2 more years with what .i have left…

And, yes I know there will be bigger problems than keeping aquarium plants fed…

At my local grocery store I have already noticed fresh produce is much more spotty availability than I have been accustomed to. Never in my life Have I recalled going into a grocery store and not being able to buy carrots. There have been several times in the past 6 months the store has been out of carrots.

A few weeks ago they had a sign in the produce section describing ongoing produce supply chain difficulties…

We certainly are living in interesting times.

I look forward to returning to boring times again someday. I have had enough of interesting times…

I'm probably good for life. Full set of GLA dry ferts on hand. PPS since July '25, about 3 ml daily between the two tanks.

Can the middle east stop being such a mess? I got eriocaulons to grow.

Maybe we should just build a giant pipe. The biggest, longest and best pipe ever to have piped.

I'm honestly surprised no one has posted any of the potential jokes that could be derived from the thread title. I'm biting my tongue.
