My soil disease test came in from Western Labs ID today. Not looking good. I have been having issues trying to grow in this main patch the last few years. I've grown Kodiak Mustard & Tillage Radish off season, last summer I used two 20x40 clear plastic tarps to try to Solarize the Soil to kill off disease. 2025 I did not grow in this patch and let my chickens roam free to mitigate the weeds, and fertilize it. It's really disappointing to put all the work into a patch that is nutrient wise - the perfect fit, but has Disease issues. I'll have to have a chat with Harry at Western Labs and find out his recommendations. I do have a new patch area I plan to grow in this years, so we will see how that goes. Sandra
