I'm reading Steve Solomon's book "Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades".  I'm in the southern end of the Willamette Valley.
He says our soils are unbalanced---with too much potassium.  Apparently, I've been making my situation even worse by using the native grass hay in my compost.  And adding comfrey---a bioaccumulator for potassium..
Would it work to plant lots more comfrey and totally remove the biomass from the system?
Any other ideas?
