I'm using team-pumpkin's soil amendment spreadsheet and was wondering if the ratio of the nutrients was more important than the actual amount. My soil test shows I'm high/very high on pretty much everything, but my ratios are out of wack. I'm assuming ratio is more important since they don't list an ideal for each nutrient. But before I added 600 ppm of calcium, I thought I'd ask

Ratios are important. Some nutrients aren't taken up unless another is present. Some nutrients will tie up other nutrients if there is too much of it. The recommendations I get from Western Laboratories always lists ratios and what to watch for to keep them in balance. The test results I just got back show my zinc and phosphorus are both very high, and they recommended adding a little phosphorus to keep the ratio balances.
