Cure for the Winter Blues? Why a New Soil Test!

Postby Barley » January 5th, 2012, 1:33 pm

This test is for my Church's community vegetable garden. I don't see any glaring deficiencies, but the soil is far from balanced. I'm tempted to either let it be, or try to till in some elemental sulfur to displace some magnesium, and then optimize next fall. Comments?

Nothing glaring. I'd skip the sulfur as you can't guarantee it won't suck up some calcium as gypsum.

I'd leave it alone. It's not bad.
