You have a Living Soil bed and the first round went really well. Maybe you then supplied the soil with fresh nutrients using a topdress/reammend fertilizer mix, but the second round still didn't go well and the third was a disaster... even though you kept the moisture in the optimal range, gave it a compost tea every now and then and used everything else you saw on YT or read in forums.
You don't know what to do anymore, you're stressed and yet you were told: "With Living Soil you'll have less stress..."
Weak growth, deficiency symptoms or high pest pressure (keyword: fungus gnats) usually occur when the soil is out of balance.
The problem lies in the use of ready-made fertilizer mixtures.
Depending on the variety, your plants have different nutrient requirements and therefore extract different amounts of nutrients from the soil. But soil life also consumes nutrients.
Living Soil has an incredible buffering effect, but even that eventually reaches its limits.
If you now use fertilizer mixture XY, you supply the soil with the nutrients that are present in this mixture in a certain ratio.
However, if only a portion of these nutrients are converted or consumed, the remaining nutrients are stored in the soil.
The optimal ratio of nutrients is thus thrown out of balance.
Since nutrients compete with each other, so-called "lockouts" can occur. An excess of one nutrient prevents the availability of one or more other nutrients. Trace element deficiencies in particular are often due to an excess of macronutrients.
The way out of this situation is through soil analysis.
This will show you which nutrients are actually present in your soil (Mehlich3) and which nutrients are available in which quantities (saturated paste).
Based on the results, you can fertilize specifically and according to needs and bring your soil back into balance.
A soil analysis may seem like a big investment at first, but the results are worth it. You will be surprised how little fertilizer you need to add to get your Living Soil back to full performance, or rather what performance Living Soil can actually deliver. Not to mention the stress you save yourself, and that is priceless.
With that in mind, save yourself the headache and test your soil!
