Maybe this adds even another layer to the metaphor, but it's not just that different crops draw different nutrients out of the soil... Some crops (e.g., legumes like beans and peanuts) actually return nutrients into the soil through "fixation" where certain bacterias interact with their root systems to create pockets of available nitrogen in the soil.
Fabulously said Bree,
Thank you for sharing.

Brilliant. Thank you for teaching me! I think it adds to the metaphor perfectly 😊
