Jeff, Throw on your cover crop and re-test in the spring...Looks like your soil is in a good shape..make whatever small adjustments in the spring...

after comparing to several books and on this web site i agree the soil seems good. These values are pre compost and chicken manuer so the spring test shoudl be good. cant figure out why i had such poor plant and pumpkin growth despite all other plants in teh same garden doing well. I have to look to the seed as being the problem.
