Smaller patch soil test, pretty much the same story, not as high of a ph. Calculations For 1000 sq ft, its only 350 sq ft so I need to do some math: 10 lbs of Elemental Sulfur 10 lbs of K Mag 28.1 lbs of 0-0-50 4.5 lbs of blood meal 25 lbs of Cotton seed meal 4.9 lbs of Ammonium Sulfate 1.5 lbs of super Phosphate 15 lbs of Kelp Meal 0.35 lbs of Borax 0.6 lbs of Copper 2.95 lbs of Manganese Sulfate 1.5 lbs of Zinc Sulfate
Estimate of end result: Nitrogen 37.8 ppm Phosphorus 128.2 Potassium 357.3 Calcium 2494 ppm Magnesium 163.9 Boron 1.1 ppm Copper 4.3 ppm Manganese 23.5 ppm Iron 25 ppm Sulfur 281.9 ppm Zinc 15.9 ppm
Might have problems with magnesium this year being so low, I might include Epsom Salts in a regular feeding schedule to avoid a deficiency.
For all of you taking soil samples: Don't use Galvanized shovels to take a sample, it will make you zinc look super high, you can compare the zinc from last falls soil test to now, there is a big difference
