BioTabs Produkte - Widerverwertung - Torf und torffreie Erde

not overly versed with BioTabs Brand but have used things like it. They are nice, things you mix into the soil and its releases slowly. Its a nice set it and forget it option if you don't want to be bothered by mixing up all the mutibottle options on the market for fertilization. Some drawbacks to it, can't correct things as fast and over feeding is an issue if to many tabs have been used, its harder to get it out of the medium once this has been done. In terms of "soils" I would be using the word medium or substrate as "soil" is a term used for a specific type of medium/substrate. most potting mixes on the marker are soil-less meaning they don't contain soil and are comprised of Peat/Coir/perlite/other stuff, this other stuff could be small amounts of compost, slow release synthetic fertilizers, wetting agents. -Coir is lovely and I like it a lot. it is PH neutral but needs buffering to prevent it from stealing all your calcium. It also need an added CaMg supplement to support this long term. -Peat is ok and not my favourite as its damaging to the environment, it is also acidic over time and depending how you grow that could be a good thing. I have sometimes mixed some peat into my mix so it will lower the PH a bit but how much is beyond me more of a mad scientist vs lab. All of these soil-less options need a heavy amount of perlite or something to help aerate the medium and allow water to flow though it easily. Soil on the other hand can be many things and some people just call it dirt. I grow in a soil hybrid that comprises peat and coir for best of both words. With soil the PH almost auto regulates and the trick to maintaining good soil grows is feeding the microbes in the soil vs the plants. If you only want to use liquid nutrients it would almost be easier to just go straight peat or coir with perlite. but if you wanted to use dry amendments that use whole ingredients like feather/blood/bone meal soil is the way to go. Not to say you cant use liquid in soil, its just a different ball game as the soil holds onto more nutrients and can be harder to flush them out if you accidentally over feed them. Best Of Luck!

I don't have experience with the BioTabs but no soil will get better the more you use it - the soil gives nutes to the plant and so it depletes itself. You can certainly re-use your soil if you want or need to but would recommend sterilizing it first with some H2O2 . That will, unfortunately, kill the microbes if you use it immediately afterwards so I'd let the soil dry out completely and then reintroduce microbes if you want... Peat free soils won't have the capability of holding water and so would need to be kept moist... if you read up on using coco, you'll get the idea. Good luck!
