The photo below is Mango Haze almost 3 months old. Is growing in soil amended with Chicken manure + additives Zeolite and Potash. High K Kelp (ascophylum nadosum) flakes were also added. Soil pH is 6 - 6.5 .
You will see the plant is dark green and that the leaves are curling, canoeing, and drooping.
A dig around the roots reveals they are nice and white and the soil has no smell. There's no sign of Termites and no insect strike.
But the texture of the soil seems strange in that it is friable in a way I 'm not used to. It clumps when squeezed but the slightest pressure causes the clumped ball to fall apart. Say, like sand.
Despite added Humates the bed doesn't store much water ... once again like sand.
The base soil was LOAM however ...
Sorry if I 've left out info ...
How can I remedy this situation?
