Here is the results from my soil test taken last fall. I applied all the recommended amendments from the test last fall and worked in deep. Do I need to sample again this spring? I plan on applying compost/worm tea weekly through the season. I have a worm farm and have about 5 gallons of casting saved up and get about a gallon of castings in a month. I have good quality homemade compost that I will use in my vine burying mix. Only my second year, first year testing. I am certainly open to anyones suggestions about how to develop a fertilization program based on these tests and my plans. Thanks for your help.

Ideally get one this spring.Mainly to check how your ph is moving and to see where your micronutrient moved after you amended.I recommend getting joe ailts guide to soil tests and fertility. He steers pumpkin growers in the right direction for amending and fertilizing.
