Stewart,
I found the K test in that product very hard to read. Every time I did
it it came up depleted. Even when tested on straight fertilzer with good
amounts of K in it it came up the same, depleted. I talked with the
company, tried new pills, and finally had them try it. Their findings
was that it was normal. I think it is best to get at least one
professional soil test ( although those can too be sometimes confusing)
and go from there. If you have already added K don't worry about. I did
and it didn't seem to cause any problems .
