Nitrogen(N) Potassium(K) Phosphate(P) Sulphur(S)
These major nutrients are lost from the soil by: animal ingestion, crops, hay, dentrification, and leaching. The loss varies according to soil type, and land use. The macronutrients are replaced by applying fertilizers. In organic fertilizers, compost replaces the nutrients.
One good indicator of a healthy soil is an abundance of earth worms. An optimal number would be in the range of 750,000 -2,500,000 per acre, or 140,000 per 1/4 acre plot of garden. If you see 8 or more worms per shovel full of dirt, you are close to the amount of plant compost you need for maximum N P K S in your organics.
Worm casings is one of the most beneficial fertilizers you can use on vegetables and flowers and/or trees and shrubbery.
In a living soil, one doesn’t want to increase one nutrient over another because then the DISEASE causing microorginisms will get the upper hand and start giving problems. One way to offset a paticular plant(ie:corn) from using most of a nitrogen from a soil, is to plant a nitrogen FIXING green manure crop to furnish the extra nitrogen needed at the optimal time of the plant’s greatest plant growth spurt. Clover is a good companion green manure crop that adds extra nitrogen to the soil. From personal use of this technique, I broadcast red clover and dutch clover over my field in the fall, and then planted the corn on top of the green manure crop in the spring . The first plowing during the growth was at knee height I plowed under every other row walkway of clover, then the final walkway on the final fix at 12 to 16 leaf stage of the plant. The clover provides the nitrogen and adds compost needed by the earth worms.
