I don't run peat, but as the bark breaks down in mine, I add more bark and coarse vermi every year until I feel the change. The peat on BX is better than the ~$12~ per 4CU bag of peat one usually get's at the big box, IMO - so it does not compress as much as over the seasons.
Just for the helluva it this year, I threw some tone in my container amenment, which consists of CRF, lime/epsom and some TT as well. I do use liquids as my containers are fabric pots and my mix is light, so everything washes out..
Uggh on the solarization. Right now, I have not needed to on my pots but it looks like one particular veg. bed has the baddies in them and I might need to treat the soil
