I did my fall soil test. It looks good except potash and phosphorus. Phosphorous 476lb/acre-potassium 650 lb/acre.
Saturation is k-5.2 ca-76.1 mg14.6 cec15.
I did put 5 yards horse manure on, my om was low at 5.1%.
I am tilling leaves in and putting rye down.
Is there any way to help lower the poatssium and phosphorous. thanks Tim.

In the rare circumstance that P & K were TOO high a scavenging crop could be used to "crop off" the surplus. Waste of time though in this case.

Add 50-100 lbs of gypsum to alter the cation element balance in you're concerned but I'd let the horse manure settle run another test in early spring.

Most of that PHOS is probably locked anyway.

Who did the test?
