Just realized I should have put this here instead of General Discussion..

I just got back the results from the first soil test I've ever done on my patch. Any recommendations would be appreciated. My soil has never been amended. I believe it is classified as a sandy loam.

OM 3.9%
ENR 114 lbs/Ac
Phosphorous Available 123ppm
K 164ppm
Mg 200ppm
Ca 1348ppm
pH 6.2
pH buffer index 6.8
Acidity 1.2 H meq/100g
C.E.C. 10.0 meq/100g
%Base Saturations...

H 12.1%

Sulfur SO4-S 12ppm
Zinc 117.7 ppm

Recommendations
N 75 lb/Ac
P2O5 40 lb/Ac
K2O 45 lb/Ac
S 20 lb/Ac

apply 20-40# P2O5 and 20-30# K2O as a side placement application. Subtract amount from recommended and broadcast
the rest if any
