Please be careful with the corn meal glutin, it is a pre-emergant weed
killer! It's not sold that way, but that's what it will do. Use it 6
weeks prior to setting out new plants. It will also kill already
emerging new growth according to the information that I have read.
I also have a hard time reading my soil test results. Our county
extension agent always makes a note at the bottom for us. It reads the
same EVERY year. Use 20 to 30 pounds of 10-10-10 for 1000 sq. feet. (It
may just be a basic rule of thumb) A year ago our results came back
saying that our soil was very high in Potassium and low in Phosphorus,
and we were given the above prescription. We didn't, instead we used
Sulpolmag (I think that's the correct spelling) and followed the
instructions on the bag. We had a wonderful crop that year.
