hi and welcome

do you have the sand and soil mixed ? this is better because sand on its own can cause impaction
weeds are the way to go personally i would forget the brocilli
are you using a suppliment dayly such as nutrobal

Hello i use Nutrobal, sparingly, as the main supplement.
And limestone flour mostly in the outside run, in better weather
