So composters produce ammonium... From there - nitrifying bacteria turn it into No2- or what might be called.. Nitrites.

Next...

They become Nitrates because of the activity of 'Nitrifying Bacteria' - known as - NO3- ...

From there they are either - asimilated into the plant directly , as NO3- or - the NO3- dissipates into the atmosphere.

Is that a fair assesment of the chart??!?
