I could use some help. Just received soil test results.
It reads "1 ton lime per acre, broadcast and incorporate 80lb. p2o5 and 110 lb. k2o per acre.
Band- place at planting (otherwise add the following amounts to pre-plant broadcast application) 40 lb nitrogen,
40lb p205, and 40lb k2o.
sidedress when vines start to run 60lb nitrogen"
The plot is .1 acre (55ft/75ft) ph 6.3, buffer ph 6.8, no3-n =18 ppm
Will 200lb of lime, and 100lb of 12-12-12 do the trick?

The lime is right but the 12-12-12 is a little high. 100 lbs would be equivilent to 1000 lbs / acre or 120 N,P and K.
I would go about 75-80 lbs. If you plan to foliar apply some fish/ seaweed that will be all you need!
