Great thoughts above.

I use osmocote and epsoma and worm castings.  Organic fertilizers often use up nitrogen first before adding it back and more.  So they can actually make your soil nitrogen deficient for a while, the same as if you have a wood chip based soil.  That's why I never use them alone.  Osmocote and miracle grow will not kill your soil microbes.  If a plant looks pale I'll give it some miracle grow and ironite.  Pine bark produces a soil high in calcium so I don't worry about that.
