Hello everyone!
I recieved my soil tests yesterday. I'm not
sure, but I think I have some work ahead of me. If you recall, I recently
purchased a new house with ten acres and now I have to start over preparing it
for AGs. Since I didn't have the fall to prepare the soil, I had
the test done to give me an idea of what I am working with. I realize
that I don't have much time to prepare the soil, but I have to do the best I can
with what I have. The soil test is posted below. What I need to know
is what to add as far as fertilizers and such, and what kind of
fertilizers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I don't
really know what to all add yet to whip it up into shape before planting.
Keep in mind that I haven't added any manure yet. I do plan on
adding alot of aged cow and horse manure mix before planting. Please
email me at g*@bytrehead.com as not
to clutter the list. Thank you very much.
