Well, I finally got my soil tested, (first time tested)... how do they look
(sample A and B):
Sample A (which is my primary garden but it is a newer
garden area) is:
PH = 7.0, Buffer = 7.0
Nitrogen: NO3-N = 18 ppm
NH4-N = 12 ppm
Organic Matter = 18.5%
Nutrient Levels:
Phosphorus = 114 ppm (very high)
Potassium = 157 ppm (high to very high)
Calcium = 4456 ppm (very high)
Magnesium = 486 (very high)
CEC = 36.8 meq/100g
Percent Base Saturation K=1.5 Mg = 15.0 Ca = 83.6
MicroNutrient:
Boron = 0.8
Manganese = 12.3
Zinc = 4.5
Copper = 0.6
Iron = 3.7
Extractable Aluminum 15 ppm (soil range 10-250 ppm)
Lead level in this soil is low.

My front garden, Sample B (which is my secondary older garden area) is:
PH = 7.0, Buffer = 7.0
Nitrogen: NO3-N = 19 ppm
NH4-N = 16 ppm
Organic Matter = 16.1%
Nutrient Levels:
Phosphorus = 157 ppm (very high)
Potassium = 193 ppm (very high)
Calcium = 4749 ppm (very high)
Magnesium = 532 (very high)
CEC = 32.8 meq/100g
Percent Base Saturation K=1.8 Mg = 15.3 Ca = 83.1
MicroNutrient:
Boron = 1.1
Manganese = 24.9
Zinc = 7.1
Copper = 0.6
Iron = 5.0
Extractable Aluminum 14 ppm (soil range 10-250 ppm)
Lead level in this soil is low.
