Barley vs green beans: Different soil salinity for different crops. Its tempting to be a "more-on" and just keep dumping more on. But the simple fact of it is, there's an optimal amount of salts in the soil, and going beyond this is just shooting the plants in their feet.
I probably did this to my gourd plants this year. They looked kinda miserable like the fertilizer salts were too high. This is probably what caused the excess turgor that exploded a few of my baby gourds.
I was a more-on with some potent cow manure. It probably had a lot of pee in it because otherwise the salts would not have been extremely high. I know the salt was high because it created a couple dead spots where the mustard cover crop would not grow, plus the farmer I got it from warned me about it.
