lincsyokel2 you are totally wrong.the OP's problem is pollenation issue
Nutrient levels are measured as electrical conductivity in microSiemens per centimeter (uS/cm) to give a measure of free ions in the media. Unmodified soil is about 300, average retail multipurpose compost is about 600, good quality peat based professional growing media can be as high as 900, and your lotty compost heap could be as high as 2000.
More interesting info, thanks LincsQuoteNutrient levels are measured as electrical conductivity in microSiemens per centimeter (uS/cm) to give a measure of free ions in the media. Unmodified soil is about 300, average retail multipurpose compost is about 600, good quality peat based professional growing media can be as high as 900, and your lotty compost heap could be as high as 2000.This may be an ignorant question, but we are in the basics forum :PWhere does average retail multipurpose get those 600 microsiemens from? I thought that most of the nutrients were added to that in an artificial, soluble form so they get used up in 6 weeks or so if it's seeds or pots. Is there more in it than that and in the long-term? Because it just seems mainly woody gubbins to me.
