I must say I was amazed my soil was this bad. My garden has always done good on vegetables .This was my first year growing ag's I got over 2000lb of fruit off of the 339 Little one @470lb also,I got a 440lb off of the 307 Little ,360 est off of the 699 Schroeder, and a 400 + est and 550+ est off of the 250 Schroeder.I am no expert analizing soil samples , but from everything I read I never would have thought my soil would produce these size fruit. The lab recommended 2 ton / acre lime, 250 lb /acre 0-46-0, and 250 lb / 0-0-60. I tested 3 different patches and they were all close to the same. I have a compost pile I will add and a barn full of horse manure. I would appreciate anyone's input
