The Planted Tank Forum - View Single Post - Dirt losing the majority of it's nutrients after a year?

I never stated I have any problems, I actually think i have my tanks pretty well balanced. I just think it's interesting, and possible that the dirt we use may be void of any nutrients after a short period of time. I re-read the MGOPM bag, and it actually says provides plants with enough food for 2 MONTHS, not six like I originally thought. I'm skeptical that over feeding will subsidize the dirt enough to be effective.
