marcia,
What is in your growing soil Is it a purchased mix
The potting soil I use has
1. Forest humus
2. Chicken manure
3. Worm castings
4. Bat guano
5. Gypsum
6. Kelp meal
7. Oyster shell
8. Lime & dolomite limes(pH adjusters)
9. Mycorrhizae
When I open the bag, it has white threads all through it. Mycorrhizae, I believe. So you may have killed all the beneficials in your mix.
