Tom, I just posted my report also. Looks like you organic matter can come up like mine by adding some compost and manure. Your N-P-K all look a little bit on the low side. My best guess would be to add some manure and compost which would raise your N-P-K and your organic matter. And plant a cover crop. Best wishes, Jimmy

Manure has been added, about 9 tons (so I was told), from what I gather, I have already started my cover crop, and I will be adding all of the maple leaves that i can gather. Thanks Duster! Tom

HAHAHAHA! I really dont know Billy, what I can tell ya is that I was after manure, so a guy I know has a dump truck, it is not huge, but it is never the less a dump truck, we get it filled twice, and put it on my intended patch, I till, I till again, and I get my soil analysis, which brings me back to my original question,............... any suggestions on the analysis? LOL
