Sent the soil in on Saturday and got the results emailed to me this afternoon. I wanted to post the results, but they are in PDF format.
The numbers are surprising, pH is 6.4, P is medium, 40 lbs/acre, K is low, 168 lbs/acre, Ca is medium, 2538 lbs/acre Mg is very high at 524 lbs/acre.
Their recommendation is 0 lime, 0 N, 0 phosphate, 0 potash and 0 Mg. In other words my soil is good to go.
I don’t think I’m that lucky. In the space on the application for “what are you gonna grow” I put in “wildlife plot with clover, turnips, chicory and oats. The results came back with “wildlife plot”.
What do you guys think? Am I good to go? I was mainly interested in the pH. Is 6.4 at the low end of acceptable? Should I put on something like 19-19-19 anyway?
Thanks.
