Re: Soil Samples
>Bill'
saw a soils expert on tape from one of the pumpkin gatherings and he said
that you should try and follow these ratios
If your 2 to 1 then mag is too high if it over 10 to 1 Calcium is too high
so on your test you had mag say close to 300 and Ca at 5000 that makes the
ratio about................16 to 1 so I would say add some mag. to the old
garden. Everything looks pretty good ................MBrock
