Re: Soil Test results
Deborah, if it is like mine from Penn State Ag, it means add 110 pounds of
nitrogen at plating next season per acre of land.. I needed 75 pounds of
nitrogen only for my soil to be prime for pumpkins, which if done out in a
formula that converts acrage to sq ft, equalled 2/10's of a pound of nitrogen
per 100 square ft. For a closer look at what a soil test looks like, go to my
webpage, and at the top, click on soil test.. I have mine scanned into my
webpage, and look at the numbers in my soil... Any suggestions from those who
get soil tests done every year? This is my first.. Penn State seemes to think I
am not to far off, but comparing numbers to Deborah, my numbers are much higher
than hers, except for ph, which is 7.2..
