Friday the weather forecast was light rain on Tuesday and not rain until then, so a perfect time to fertilize. I mixed up the liquid fertilizer, applied it, and Saturday a huge storm popped up, which raised the creek level almost two feet - half a meter - for a couple of hours.
Would we expect that there is any fertilizer left in the soil? The substrate is pretty much standard 1/3 akadama, 1/3 lava rock, 1/2 pumice, with a little bit of coffee grounds tossed it. When I applied it Friday it was after Thursday's storm which raised the creek about three times as much and laster of hours, so the substrate was probably as soaked as it could be.
