I received my soil test yesterday. I'm holding my breath. the pH is way up, the Phosphorus and Magnesium are reversed and Ca is low. I would like your opinions.
Thanks
Greg

Things don't look too bad. You are right, the pH is high. Also right about the Ca being low. Your K could go up 200 or so. Other than that, I don't see any major issues that would ruin your season. Depending on CEC (17-22) shoot for K 4-7%, Mg 13-18% and Ca 68-72%.
