Below are the 2010 vs 2012 fall tests. Differences are: 2 loads of chicken manuer and 2 loads of compost, 50# kelp and humic as well as growing a 1079(2011) and 998(2012).Given the high N and plant issues that were due in part to too much N I held back on adding anything other than lime for ph. Will be doing another test april if conditions are good. I have a feeling the #'s will be different with leeching due to snow and the winter rye as well as a more balanced distribution of the test soil after tilling, took the 2012 test while plant was still in. Any thoughts on the differences are welcome. Thanks jeff
