I agree mate, as an organic farmer, I tend to rely on nutrients from all pools, not just the water soluble pools. The system we have uses a building N and K system with added Moly. Once we get this base, we start to load up added liquid P, Ca, Mg, S etc. We do have NPK, but we rely less on this than other systems, even other organic ones.
We look at the modulating effects of bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere and beyond and seek to encourage the positive outcomes by stimulating the right biology and volatiles, which in turn help our plants manage growth, stress and life.
We also have a range of Nano products that assist CO2 applications without the typical stress. We work with science and I only set this up because I was sick of the myths among other nutrient vendors. Happy to answer any questions if you ever have any bro. I don't know everything, but we can learn together for sure

It sounds like you're leaning towards biodynamics...?

Welcome to the farm, another organic gardener here.

Many thanks for the kind welcome. Always cheery when I meet new organic growers. Such a lot to learn and the more people I can talk to the better we can become together.
Yeah for sure. We use bottles, but typically these being protein or enzyme based, simple starch, sugars etc and always with biology rather than without. I don't use poop too much, I do occasionally use a fish based product, but usually this is a more a 1st year thing or to get media to the state we prefer biologically in the case of remediation. Once we have the right sample results re fungus, bactos, protozoa, nematodes etc, we can seriously ramp back to whole plant FPE's and OHN type inputs so we don't really use much NPK.
My lifes aim would be to better translate the language of volatiles, so we can better prescribe biology. I do use a bunch of single, well grouped biological inputs that manage NPKSCuBZn on elemental levels, so we fine tune organics based on a cycle approach as is argued with single application minerals, we can now add N fixers or P mobilsers without adding them together if we so wish, we can insert types to restrict Nitrate conversion during later growth for example.
I totally love the fact my plants are having debate with bacteria and fungus at the organelle level. I can be in awe, but I fear I can never replicate this deep resonance between plant and biology
The style works for me at least, and I am always worried about the damage us growers might inadvertently push on elsewhere

Many of them will for sure. It does suck that people are waking up finding out from the captain but ... most of them had my email or phone so itll just take time
