Ever thought of adding soil to the point that the p-bulb is an inch below the soil line? I think the reason it's doing that is that most of the nutrients are on the upper layer of the soil, then below that there is not much nutrients. Or the lower portions of the soil does not get aerated, or conversely, even watered, at all.
