Hi, I have very high levels of the following:

Phosphorus: 1430 ppm
Potassium: 1600 ppm
Magnesium: 490 ppm

What can I do to lower this high levels to prevent locking other nutiants un the soil?

Thank you!

I think as long as everything else is high it should be fine, I think it is the balance of nutrients that counts.I have very high phosphorus in my vegetable garden and was told to add potassium,nitrogen,and organic matter to balance it out. I do not think you can take any of the nutrients out of the soil just as you can't take flour back out when you put it into cake mix.

X potassium will leach out with water.A lot of us colorado growers have high K cause we dont get much moisture in the winter to leach the soluble minerals.Also your pumpkin plant will consume a lot of k during the season.I wouldnt worry about it.Dont try to lower anything just make sure soil amendments dont increase these levels
