Finally got a test done on our watermelon patch.

PH 6.1
Buffer PH 7.67
P 30lb/acre
K 130 lb/acre
Ca 5950 lb/acre
Mg 260 lb/acre
CEC 18.8 meq/100g
%K .9
%Ca 79.1
%Mg 5.8
%H 14
Hmeq 2.6
K:Mg Ratio .15
Ca:Mg 13.64
Organic Matter 6% enr 164

I have hickory wood ash to raise the PH and K. I also plan on adding a lot of 3 year old cow manure and coffee grounds. What else would everyone reccomend?

Just looking at your base saturation percentages, your going to need to raise K and Mg.
