Too much phosphorus, mainly, which apparently keeps the plants from absorbing any other nutrients. (5x too much phosphorous) I think that was from too much goat poop. ( I thought it was going to be good for the plants) I was unable to find any kind of quality garden soil that wasn't mostly sand, or compost, both of which I have plenty of. ( I live on a sand hill and don't need to buy more sand) so I've been purchasing bagged garden soil, and mixing it with my soil 5 parts to 1. This year, it seems like what I've planted out there is growing fine. Even the strawberries, which previously just sat there and slowly died.
