BIOTabs - Widerverwertung - Torf - 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!

Yes I used to use the Biotabs line. When you want to reuse the soil you need to use Enzyme that break down the old roots and organic materials inside the soil. I prefer to not reuse the soil and use a new fresh lightmix from the start so that you know exactly what and how many nutrients are in the soil. When the balace between the bacteria and fungi from a product like Biotabs are out of balance makes it really hard to bring it back to a balanced condition. I made this mistake before because I hears the same that the living soil would be more living and providing for the plant but like I said I prefer to start with a fresh light mix soil. Yeah sure but instead of writing a very long story here I will send you a article about both types of soil and the benefits from both different types soil. https://www.thegardensuperstore.co.uk/advice-and-inspiration/peat-vs-peat-free-choose-the-right-potting-compost
