My soil test said I need 36-6-6 fertilizer. I called our local co-op, they don't make small orders. My question, if I can't find what is recommended, what type of fertilizer in numbers #-#-# would be close to what I need.

Thank you, Mark G.

You may want to post your soil test results. Their recommendation for nitrogen seems VERY high for AG's. That seems like it might be more of a recommendation for your lawn. You don't want too much nitrogen left in the soil when it comes time to set fruit.

36-6-6 means there are 36 pounds of nitrogen, 6 pounds of phosphorous, and 6 pounds of potassium in a 100-pound bag. There would be half of each ia a 50-pound bag. So, if you needed 50 pounds of 36-6-6, you would need 100 pounds of 18-3-3.
