I have had two soil tests done one is called garden north the other garden south, I would appreciate some help in understanding them.
Ive been reading up info from western labs tutorials, but by the time I figure this out,if ever, it will probable to late to get the amendments done be for winter.
If you want the ratio of Ca to be 8:1 or 10:1 to potassium dont I need more calcium.I know that would make my Ca too high though.
I have a great source for horse manure I could use for raising OM%, but I shouldnt use it becuase of the Potassium levels ?
Garden north has never had ferts added to it, it has had leaves, grass clipping, and hickory nuts/ hulls added to it, they are in a differant family than walnuts , but I have decided to stop using them in the garden, becuase it may inhibbit growth.
Garden south has been grass for aprox 10 years, has only been fertilized in one location( 2013 stunp area) it has had old potting soil dumped on it over the years, but I have stopped doing that to prevent decease.
I cant not use the all of the SQ FT of each garden, either due to tree stumps or shade, but I will ammend the entire area, for future use.
This is garden NORTH
