soil test got back. Results were less than saisfactory. Lol. A few things that always seem to puzzle me in san diego, salts are always high, even when I never fertilize. I've been told our water is high in salt, so I think I believe it. It came back at 5.8 The dry winter did not help, nothing got leached out.

Potassium, jumped up to 2500 ppm, way higher than even last years 1400. No clue why it won't go down. I didn't even add manure last year, I did this spring. Go figure. And lastly my ph is 8.1, so I gotta hit it with a lot of sulfer. Again, our water ph is high, it is a never ending cyle trying to get the ph down. So to wrap it up, hehehe, my soil looks kind of messed up. Well, we will see what it grows!!!!
