I have six of these older containers with high phosphorus, I think I will replace around half of the peat/pearlite with new peat/pearlite/vermiculite in three of them which could lower/dilute the phosphorus.


Other than adding some nitrogen, it looks like I do not need to add anything other than a small amount of lime. Once I have fruit set, then I will start using the Texas Tomato Food, been wanting to try this product.


Overall I was surprised that the containers had a build up of nutrients and I am not sure why the salinity is building up considering the amount of rain these containers get.


I have a lot to learn and I see more soil tests in the future.
