What plants grew last year responded very well to me adding fish fertilizer to them. Don't get too excited about measured N levels unless your plants are showing signs of deficiency. The agronomists that I talk to say it is the most difficult element to measure reliably and the one that can vary quite quickly because many N compounds are very soluble in water and/or gaseous so they move about easily. D Or you have so much organic material in the soil, that the microorganisms consume the N to create a population large enough to consume the resource of carbon (starch&cellulose), and little N is left for the plants. until the organic material is depleted and the microorganisms die off, releasing N. Try taking a reading in a few weeks and a few after that to see what trend may develop. rob |
