OM% 8.1
(ppm) N03-N 10 Phosphorus Weak Bray 132 NaHco3-P 143 (these 2 are double what they were last fall) K 1154 (That's right, 1154 ppm, how did this get like this? It was at 330 ppm last fall) Mg 334 Ca 2289 (up about 1000 ppm but I know what I did to raise this) Na 35 S04-S 30 Zinc 6.3 Mn 8 Fe 22 (down from 95 ppm, is that a good thing or a bad thing?) Cu .9 B 1.1
K% 17.1! Mg% 15.9 Ca% 66.1 Na% 0.9
ECe .7
CEC 17.3
pH 7 buffer 6.7
What should I do about that potassium? Think I should send in a new sample?

Looks like manure of some sort kicking in Ben. If it makes you feel any better I have 1700 ppm K and am not worried about it because some others have grown 1000+ with those sort of levels.

Ya, that's what the guy said, probably from a large addition of manure and to add more calcium to even the ratio out a bit. I did that this weekend anyway. I think I should be alright, just saw that number and freaked out.

That's probably why they had to retest it Ben! They thought they screwed it up!

Ben.....Get 'ya a beer and relax. Nothing I see here to be overly concerned about. Your OM is working up to nice content. The higher the OM the more forgiving the little things are within the test. Get your your big cardboard fan and nuture the bacteria into providing what that patch holds. You are in big fruit territory with the condition of that patch in my opinion.
