Here is the soil test from the Kent Valley Dirt. The nutrient levels are substantially lower than in the Cedar Grove Booster blend. Jeff and I did not send out the sand for testing because, well basically its sand! This blending of the Kent Valley dirt will help us reduce the overall nutrient levels while at the same time adding in some honest dirt. The Kent Valley dirt is earthy and just what you would expect to find on a farm. This will increase the loamy material in the dirt and add some actual dirt to the Cedar Grove. Hopefully in combination with the sand the clumpiness and soil compaction factors will be reduced.
