This is a common problem in sandy soils, which do not hold water well. Nutrients (and other substances) in the soil may be dissolve in water. The water, thanks to gravity, is pulled downward, carrying the dissolved nutrients with it and leaving the soil depleted. Control leaching by adding humus to the soil. The humus will slow water's downward movement and give soil organisms and plants more time to absorb the dissolved nutrients.
