All the humates, which never go away, are evenly distributed throughout the pot. They run your soils CEC and act as water reservoirs so you really want even distribution.Why would the meals work best cooked in at the beginning rather than as a weekly top dress with castings?
You can top dress them too, but then why would you even cook a mix if you could just top dress instead?
Top dressing is maintenance for the global mix. The global mix is the main horsepower and as it depletes it still maintains soil structure and top dressings keep nutrients and conditioners coming from above.
Try a side by side with one pot cooked in and top dressed, the other just top dressed.
