Let's try this again
SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!
Ok, I know it is weigh-off time, but since I just got soil test results
back I am interested in planning for next season. I posted my results a
few days ago, and not even 1 response!
I am considering adding gypsum to my patch to increase calcium content.
I have a 10,000sq foot patch, at what rate would I apply it based on the
following test results???
OM (%): 5.8
NO3-N (ppm): 255
P1 (Weak Bray): 72
NaHCO3-P (Olsen): 145
K (ppm): 2171
Mg (ppm): 526
Ca(ppm): 1906
Na (ppm): 69
SOILPh: 7.3
CEC (meq/100g): 19.7
%K: 28.2
%Mg: 22.0
%Ca: 48.3
%Na: 1.5
Ca : Mg ratio: 2.2
SO4 (ppm): 98
Zn (ppm): 5.5
Mn (ppm): 19
Fe (ppm): 55
Cu (ppm): 2.1
Boron (ppm): 1.1
Soluble Salts (mmhos/cm): 5.3
I am also adding 50+ yards of manure and composted hay as well as a
cover crop this winter.
Thanks for any suggestions!
God Bless,
