Looking for someone to make me understand this sheet better.
Fot example, when I add lime on the first page along with the soil results, the level and ratio in the tirth sheet in the start section goes down. Why?

Thanks

Hi Iwan,
I hope I understand your question.

You have to have and entry in the pH buffer block. If your soil test doesn't list a pH buffer, just insert a 7 and see if that stops the behavior you are seeing.

figured it out sorry,

used lime with a "high percentage Mg"
still have another question. do you want to have your buffer at 7.0 or the other ph value?

if your PH is 7 or higher then the buffer should be 8 which negates all the hydrogen that would be calculated because of acidity in your soil. but if your ph is below 7 and you do not have a buffer ph measurement then you kind have to guess. usually around 7 is good.
