Ammendments added to 1400 sq.ft. patch on May 5 to reach goals:
Alfalfa pellets- 30 lbs.
Potassium sulfate (0-0-50)- 7 lbs.
Corn meal- 30 lbs.
Kelp meal (North Atlantic)- 30 lbs.
Humic acid (Greensmith's)- 15 lbs.
Epsom salt- 14 lbs.
Grubex (Merit) 5 lbs.
DAP (18-46-0) 8 lbs.
Cacium lime- 4.5 lbs. 7.5' radius around point at which seedling will be transplanted as I used new soil there with 6.6 pH and projected to increase it to 6.9 based on A= pi(3.1416) x radius(7.5')squared
3.1416 x 56.25= 177 sq.ft. circle
Since 50 lbs. lime will raise soil one point in 1000 sq.ft.
therefore, 177 divided by 1000 = .177 rounded to .18 x 50= 9 lbs.. Since I only want to raise it about .5, .5 x 9 is 4.5 lbs. Just thought it might help someone figuring area watching in. Will add ironite before till to increase low iron results from test.
