Got it Dale.
B1 50 lbs Hi-cal Lime (I know, the lab said zero) per 1000.
F1 (Yikes!) 150 lbs Hi-Cal Lime per 1000. Can you get some aged manure for F1? That or we need a nice micronutrient package. I'll email you a label of a material that would help.
The lab also recommended 2-3 lbs of N per season for each patch. I can see a single pound early & a half to three quarters as the vines run but I don't advocate this much N as the lab did.
