Brian,
I'm interested to see how your soil has changed, mind sharing when the
results come in?

So why is composted manure lower in K+? Good compost should be made
without
excess water so that the nutrients shouldn't leach out. So shouldn't the
K+
level be high in compost as well. I'm not trying to be arguementative
here (but I
can be good at that). My K was reallllly high last fall and then I added
more
manure (dairy) before the results came back. So I'm expecting my K+ to
be
even higher this fall. The soil test has been sent just waiting for the
results.
So if manure and compost are high in K, do I dare add any more this
season. Is
there other manure that is lower in K?
