Plants have issues, soil test came back indicating essentially toxic soil with high salt levels and other very high levels in the cold frame areas. Resampled from different areas outside of the cold frame spaces where I didnt add anything still waiting on results. If salt is still high in these areas could be from winter ice melt as the patch is next to the driveway, but that was never an issue in 10 prior years of growing. If levels are normal in the new samples then its something i did in the cold frame spaces. Boron came back toxic at 36ppm which must have been a hot spot from where i sprinkled it in and it was just a sprinkle. Borax has Na in it as does kelp meal but that should not have raised the ECe to 3.6. NA up to 322.

Pulled the 906 today. 2365 looks ok but sides are slow though it has been cool here the past few days. watering the empty space to start leeching.
