by Does anyone out there have any experience with testing soil for Lime &
Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potash?
I bought a soil testing kit this year and my results are as follows:
Lime (pH) = 5
Nitrogen (N) = 2%
Phosphorus (P) = 3%
Potash (K) = 12%
I think the percentage amounts are supposed to be what I'm supposed to
add ???
I feel that the Lime (pH) test reveals that I should add lime to the
garden, can this be done safely if I already have plants growing?
I figure I can add lime gradually to raise the pH, how often can this
be done?
As far as the other tests go, what kinds of adjustments to my soil
should I make? I have been using 5-10-5 fertilizer and just started
using some Miracle Grow. Any advice in this area would be greatly
appreciated!
Also, maybe someone can recommend a good resource for this type of
information. My soil testing kit came with a small booklet but now
that I've gotten involved with soil testing, I'd like to get more
details.
Thx CT
