I've been growing for 2 years now, but I've never had a laboratory soil analysis done until now. These are the results...

SOIL PH: 6.2
BUFFER INDEX: 7.1
SODIUM PPM: 18
% OM: 2.7

NITRATE N: 19
PHOSPHORUS BRAY 1 OLSEN: 6
POTASSIUM: 103
MAGNESIUM: 399
CALCIUM: 1,753
SULFER: 12
ZINC: 1.3
MANGANESE: 9.4
COPPER: 3.9
IRON: 35.9
BORON: .9

ACTUAL & SUGGESTED PERCENT OF TOTAL CEC (BASE SATURATION)
HYDROGEN: 11% SUGGESTED=0-5
POTASSIUM: 1.9% SUGGESTED=3.6-7
MAGNESUIM: 23.7% SUGGESTED=15-20
CALCIUM: 62.5% SUGGESTED=65-75
SODIUM: 0.6% SUGGESTED=0-5
ESTIMATED CEC = 14


I want to keep things organic if possible. Any suggestions? (I posted this in the soil analysis board two days ago, too.)
