This report is very helpful. It changes significantly how I am going to supplement my garden and orchard soil this year.
I'm very impressed. It is a well written, easy to follow report. They were fast and thorough. I am happy I sent them a sample and will make use of the recommendations.
The main points-
- My soil is very acidic. They recommend lime. That also increases the calcium.
- The iron level is super high. I thought form the leaves iron was low. I planned to supplement it. Wrong thing to do.
- The recommendations include adding trace boron, trace copper. For that, add a tiny amount of borax, and a tiny amount of copper sulfate. The recommended amount is so small, I don't know if I will do anything about that. Better to under-do it than over-do it. Too much boric acid is toxic to plants.
- The recommendations include adding some epson salts for magnesium and sulfur.
- I thought the soil would need more potassium and phosphorus. In reality, the potassium is high, and phosphorus is very high. So just add a nitrogen source. Fish emulsion might be a good source.
