My soil test came in with a 20 % organic matter percentage.
Should I be adding any manure or compost this fall, or just go with granular fertilizers to boost my potassium and phosphorous levels? Is ther anything that I would be lacking without the addition of manure or compost?

I wouldnt add any more compost or manure. High organic matter can create a perfect enviroment for disease. 20% is plenty. Email us the results, we will be happy to read the test and make recommendations to balance your soil. Tom

Listen to Tom. He, along with others, helped me go from a personal best of 581 lbs to 912 lbs in 1 year.
