I got my soil test back from my lower garden (45 x 38' area) It appears some things are off but it was the garden I grew my 1019 DMG in (blossom split. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will get another more extensive test done in early spring. Thanks, Don Chambers The results follow:
pH 7.2 *results are in Lbs./Acre P 308 K 726 Ca 14850 Mg 464

I'd leave this one be until spring. Perhaps then too.
You'll be keeping an eye on Magnesium & Potash all year with Calcium saturation like this though.

Interestingly enough the last soil test in this particular garden was done in Fall of '99. I'm sure things have changed since but it helped me grow a big one in '03. No lime or gypsum has been applied since then. Only ironite and 10-10-10 2 yrs. ago. I will get an extensive test done in spring. Thanks for your responses. Don
