The miracle grow soil is a across the board soil used for most plants. The soil usually has slow release fertilisers in them which is probably effecting the PH of your soil and causing the problems, as the slow release nutrients and you feeding the plant is causing over-fertilisation...
My personal opinion is to go and get some good soil, check that it's specific for organic herb gardens. Repot your plants with this soil, you are able to remove about 2/3 of the soil around the roots then give it a drink of 6.5 Ph clean water with no nutes. you may also want to help the plant's drainage with a small bag of perlite and a bag of blood and bone mix. follow the directions on the packets for quantities.
let me know how u go or if your not clear on any of that. |
good call. the plants already like 2.5 ft tall so its a little late for a transplant but its probably worth it. im gunna adjust soil ph with additives, water it with molasses the next time i water, then fertilize soon after. and then see if it still needs help and then move on to this i think..
