With his permission, I stuck a slide up at Naiagara this year of Jerry Rose's soil test results from the year of his 1367.5 & 1370. Ironically, his soil tests pretty much the same as mine right down to the Manganese deficiency. Regardless of the individual levels, our goal is to perfect a soil that has suficient nutrient levels across the board to sustain growth without fail all season long.

Don't get too hung up on percentages either. Jerry's soil breaks all the "rules" of percentages. But he does have sufficiency levels that prevent slow downs of growth.
