My latest soil analysis taken on July 22nd. My analysis 6 weeks ago indicated low Mn, Mg, S, N and B. I used 2 Tbsp of Manganese Sulphate powder twice a week and it seems to have worked nicely. I used Calcium Nitrate granules at the same rate of 2 Tbsp twice a week and that worked very well. I used 1 Tbsp Solubor twice a week and that really took the Boron to the highest levels I've ever seen in my patch. I tried not to take any of my compost vine burying mixture with the soil sample but with an OM of 24.4 I must have, which makes everything quite high as the compost is high in most elements .So just to put things in perspective, I will brag about my 1600 sq ft of the most beautiful plant that has no issues ! The point I'm trying to make with all this is that I didn't spend any money on fancy preparations to correct my soil. The powders and granules I used are readily available and cheap. I probably used less than a dollars worth of product. Btw all the powders were dissolved in 40 gallons of water, mixed with a number of biologicals and pumped through my drip tape system.
