Today I finally got around to tilling (with mom's help)! I would have prepared the soil in the Fall, but location was an issue that needed to be settled (on my mom's property- more sunlight). I mixed in aged cow manure & compost...and 2 bags of leaves. Then I did a soil test for pH, N,P,& K. The pH is neutral AT 7.0, so it could stand to be a little lower in the 6.8-6.5 range. As for the Potash, its perfect. The Nitrogen is "ridiculously low" and the Phosphorus will need to be raised as well. Hopefully, I will have time to make adjustments to the soil and give it time to break down and do what it needs to do by planting time. There are so many mini-projects between now and then to make this season get off to a good start!
