Apologies, it's not 1:10 (got phosphorus and potassium muddled up, which is why I dropped chemistry after one year of university) but it is about 1:4.6
The figures for the shoots were calcium 36mg/100g and phosphorus 165 mg/100g. I thought that was too high to make it worth feeding when there are so many other things they can have that have a more balanced ratio.
