Looking at my spring soil test I don't think I am in terrible shape. I knew P would be high due to overuse of manure on this site, hopefully that does not prove to be problematic.
I am somewhat puzzled that the Ca did not increase more, I pulled a test in Oct and Ca was 2300 PPM, then I added 900lb gypsum on 6000 sq ft and this spring Ca has only increased by about 150ppm. I wonder if it is a matter of being too cold over the winter to react with the soil. I will be interested to see the level on my next test in a month or so.
