Doing my own research I have come across the bath tub effect but none of the articles I've seen talk much or anything about nutrition. Yes native soil may have some or all the things a plant will need at least to start out with but shouldn't amendments to full fill that gap be added? When I plant I only use a few handfuls of garden soil and starter fertilizer. I would not imagine that would do any harm. Not like I'm using a whole bag of each.
