Here is my test again in case some people didn't see it last time. I don't understand the ratios of micronutrients especially. But I need help with it all. What is a buffer pH? My patch is 1200 sq. ft. Thanks, Alex.

pH: 6.5
buffer pH: 6.7
Nitrogen: NO3-N=10 ppm
NH4-N=1 ppm
OM: 6%
Nutrient_Levels:_PPM_____Low_____Medium_____High_____High+
Phosphorus_(P)____9 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Potassium__(K)__151 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Calcium____(Ca)_1217XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Magnesium__(Mg)_159 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cation Exch. Cap. = 9.1 Meq/100g
% Base Saturation K=3.6 Mg=12.1 Ca=56.6

Micronutrient_____PPM_____Soil_Range
Boron_______(B)___0.4_____0.1-2
Manganese___(Mn)__3.5_____3-20
Zinc________(Zn)__1.8_____0.1-70
Copper______(Cu)__0.4_____0.3-8
Iron________(Fe)__4.7_____1-40

Extractable Aluminum: 39 ppm (Soil range: 10-250 ppm)

The lead level in this soil is low.
