I have received the results for my updated soil test today. To recap, in June I took a sample from 4" -4.5". The Logan Labs methodology indicates a slice of soil should be taken from 1" to 4", so I sent in another sample using that method to see if any differences. In between the two samples I applied (per thousand sq ft):

  • Boron at 4 tablespoons of borax
  • 1 pound of P in the form of TSP
  • 1 pound of K in the form of muriate of potash (can't find sulfate)
  • 1 pound of Fe in the form of iron sulfate
  • 8 pounds of calcitic lime

Previous thread for reference: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/discussions/3982761/soil-test

The pH of the sample is significantly higher, did the 8 pounds of lime do it or is it just higher in the upper layers? Potassium is even more deficient than in the previous sample. What are your thoughts on how to proceed with amendments? I have two more bags of lime in the garage ha.
