berkshire M.A.

I have my soil test done at U-Mass test lab in M.A. I was wondering if there is a test lab that is more geared to A.G.'s with there recommendations . I put in a lot of hard work and made some good size changes in my soil . My soil test has the same recommendations as last time and they are for commercial pumpkins & squash . What labs do you use and can you pass on the labs info. Thank you!!

Garden State Pumpkins

Hey Hoppy, I sent mine to Penn state got that off one of the links here. I got the same generic info but they typed in Atlantic Giants because That's what I told them I was trying to grow. I guess the soil test is only a starting point. All you ever read about is manure manure manure...I didn't think I had any dirt left in the garden with all the leaves,sawdust,manure and promix I added came in at 8.7 percent organic...How do you get to 20%..good luck! chuck
