Last December I sent a soil test to A & L Laboratories. Here are the results. Any ammendment suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My biggest question is what should I apply to raise my nitrogen and what time-frame. I have read past posts on low nitrogen levels and many people have stated that nitrogen levels will be low in the colder months and the levels will raise as the weather warms up.

My patch is 2,200 Sqft.

OM%, 7.9
Nitrogen, 1 ppm
Phosphorus, 54 ppm
Potassium, 408 ppm
Magnesium, 311 ppm
calcium, 3256 ppm
Sodium, 15 ppm
Sulfur, 139 ppm
Zinc, 5.5 ppm
Manganese, 14 ppm
Iron, 54 ppm
Copper, 0.9 ppm
Boron, 0.5 ppm
PH, 7.3


Thanks for the help, BuckHunter

unfortunately these results from last December will not be any good, your soil nutrient levels and OM will have changed over the course of having grown in this soil last season.

Karl, i misunderstood you, I thought that you were referencing a test from a year ago.
Anyway, it was nice talking with you on the phone.
