as your soil begins to dry out a bit the salts hyper dehydrate the microbial life. So avoid using anything
with synthetic EDTA or anything like it, ever, on your TLO soil mix.

recover healthy plants to harvest is to either stay on the synthetics for the duration—yuk—or, switch over
to some kind of heavily chelated organic nutrient like Earth Juice that uses large amounts of organic acids
to make nutrients absorbable for the duration.
Avoid being fooled when trying out new products, and there are a ton of tricks they use to fool the ig-
norant and make them think they are using organic methods, when in reality, they are not. Read all labels
very carefully and call manufacturers if you have any doubts. Ask them directly if they have any synthetic
salts present in the product.

on the other hand, is one of my all-time favorite things to use, especially in teas. Their Happy Frog line
seems all natural to me, and I myself use several of these dry products.
Botanicare
Any of their liquid products have synthetic salts, with the exception of the Organicare division of theirs,
which does have a few nice products that are safe for TLO growing last time I checked.
