My readings were 6.7 PH and a very high level of calcium in the soil. I plan to put in a couple of yards of manure, compost, grass clippings and leaves. Is that too much. Thank you

Can't do to much of any the above items the more the merrier! ph is good putting more lime in might raise your calcium levels. Chuck

Ray, PH looking pretty good. Keep in mind that the more organic material you add may lower your PH levels some. You can equalize this effect by sprinkling some lime around your plot to off set lower PH levels. Steve

Check youre Calcium to magnesium ratio Ray, you want it to be about 7 to 1 . If you need Magnesium, epsolm salts will do the trick. David
