Soil test came back today from UMass. The plot is currently completely virgin topsoil that was just sitting around growing grass for a few decades, so I guess the lack of nutrients is to be expected. I used Bryan Langley's soil calculator to figure out what to amend with. It's going to be difficult getting calcium up to the levels I see with other competitive growers, given that most calcium amendments take a while to be broken down. I'll likely have to supplement with a liquid calcium throughout the season.
