via email from the company:

“I did get the results back from the [edited] lab and the salts and pH were high as I reported last time. The salts were mostly coming from the high levels of Potassium and high Sulfur. These high levels are what caused nutrient issues with your plants. Since the results have been received and reviewed, I have sent additional samples along with new formulation samples of potting soil to the [edited] lab. There will be changes made to this formula in the future to improve this soil and correct the high salt issues…

…Thanks again for letting us know of your situation with our potting soil. I hope this testing brings about a more consistent product.”

…POD’s still hoping for a refund (and mourning the lost Tomandes).
