Back in the patch I sent a simple NPK sample and found that the potassium that we have been trying to get down had more than doubled.
The reason: - the horse manure we used this year came from the bottom of a very high pile and a load of potassium had washed down to the bottom.
The lesson: - send a sample of the compost to the lab, I do and should know better.
Anyway, we always flush through our soil with plain water before the season to get rid of any unwanted salts so this year are going to flush them through for a little longer and see what the results are. If you are growing inside please remember washing through your soil is a very important part of your growing procedure. We get none of the rain and snow doing it naturally for us.
