Phosphate testing is honestly new to me. Is this of concern? Add a reactor? Or just let it play out?

Guess I’m ordering a phosphate reactor for my rocks. Good call.
Looks like I won’t have to dose phosphates for a while at least!

Haha I was contemplating buying a BRS reactor for the rock real hard and planned to go to the LFS to see if they stock them and some gfo.
Darn if I didn’t get stung by something awful while mowing (sting itself literally buckled my knees). I had a major allergic reaction with hives and swollen everywhere. Wifey administered epi and three Benadryl and she drove me to the local er. All good now and the doctor and nurse have been amazing. Makes ya realize things. Stay safe out there.
And there went some of my tank money lol
$270 ED copay. But I’m glad i came. Still laying here in close observation but symptoms subsiding and plan to be out by dinner. Fingers crossed.
Think I earned my own epi pen prescription today :)

LOL. I'm familiar with the lawn mowing/stinging insect incidents. We live in the country so it's always an adventure.

Last fall I ran over a yellow jacket nest while push mowing the ditches along the front of the property. I only do it a handful of times a year to keep the weeds knocked back, and I can't use the zero turn to do it. Anyway... 14 stings, including two that got UP MY SHORTS! It was a bad day, but a few inches left or right, and it would've been an even worse day. :D

Several Benadryl, a cold drink and a blowtorch later, and I was right back in business with the mower. ;)
