John....I have found that the basic soil test is 28.00. For two more bucks they will tell you what you need accurately and for one more buck they will show it to you on a chart.
...They hold your soil and your test for a couple of weeks. Why not get them to state their opinions for two bucks. I don't know that the graphs are important but they make it visually more interesting.

John.........I can't begin to deciphr your report stated in lbs. per acre to arrive at the need. What little I know is reading in parts per million. I did not know but have since paid the extra two bucks to get their read on my test. I will also consider the opinions of others and then make my decisions.

Your OM is low so you can continue adding copius amounts of manures and leaves. The PH is right up on the edge of being a tiny bit high. What you have done this fall does not show so no one can be sure about what you should do. Before anyone begins speaking the size of the patch is needed too.

I'm with Doc (Dwaine). Base saturation makes interpretation more accurate.

Organic Matter is low.
Magnesium could co,me up too.

Was there more data on the report than appears here?
