Garden State Pumpkins

This is't really a new patch just that the leaves are still composting...and to far to keep hauling the clay in like the first patch..but I'm working on it.

Soil Type
Organic
Ph 6.60
LRI 7.65 (I'm guessing this is the buffer number)
macros in lbs/acre
P 161
K 290
mag 1209
Cal 8548
Mehlich 3 extraction all above optimum (this a problem?)

Micros PPM
Zinc 33
copper 2.8
Mang 66
Boron 6.4
iron 242

Sol Salt 0.27 mmho/cm satisfactory
Loss on ignition OM 45.53% Carbon 26.41%

Do Not apply lime
high P and K
add 13 lbs of 15-0-0 per 1000 of Nitre os Soda (bonide)

I don't know why the use lbs per acre for Macros then go to PPM for micros wouldn't PPM throughout be more consistent.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...I continue to top dress this are with all the clay I can dig.

Thanks
Chuck
