Finally got my soil analysis today. It's from my patch which grew
the 804 Plourde 02 and the core splitin' 585 Plourde 03. The organic
ratio was not available, however I'm sure it's fine. I added
composted chicken manure in 2002 and will be adding shrimp and crab
compost in spring 2003 to the rate of 4-5 cubic yards to my 1000 sq
feet area. I am getting fairly good results from my soil but the
Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorus and Magnesium are high I want to keep
this patch healthy. So here goes.
pH 5,9 This have to move up. Langevin recommends 50 lbs of lime if
pH is under 6,0 any comments?
CEC 32,3 (Meq/100g)
P 897 ppm
K 1185 ppm
Ca 3110 ppm
Mg 429 ppm
B 1,2 ppm
Cu 7,8 ppm
Zn 39 ppm
S 73 ppm
Mn 29 ppm
Fe 312 ppm
Al 920 ppm
Na 47 ppm
Soil index 6,4
Also does anyone have a link to a soil related web site that would help?
I REALLY appreciate your help!
Thanks
