Well I received my A&L Soil Report back last night. All looks promising....
Ph 7.1 raised from 5.8 with the addition of 120lbs. of dolomitic Lime.
Calcium levels increased from 1500ppm to 2800ppm; addition of 40lbs of Gypsum and a whole bunch of shredded maple leaves really helped.
My OM levels went up from 3.0 to 5.3; again leaves,grass clippings and lots of manure really helped.
My K(potassium) and Mg(magnesium) levels are at about a 1:1 ratio K 407ppm and Mg 431ppm
My current C.E.C. is 18.7
Needless to say I am Pleased with the "fruits" of my labor last Fall.
My Cations Saturations are the following....
K% 5.6 Mg% 18.9 Ca% 74.5 H% 0.0 Na% 1.0
