Your over all test looks good for your ph and general levels besides your salts. If I'm using the right scale Ece (salts), the normal level should be around 2, not in the hundreds. Maybe it's a different scale? if not, boy that is salty soil beyond anything I've ever seen. The only other abnormality is your mn (mangenese) 215? an average mangenese is around 6 or 7. Your organic matter could be raised up with compost or aged manure. The only way to get out salts is to leach the soil with good water. Maybe someone else can give some advice and input? Jimmy
