Default Soil and water test advice

Hello all,

I'm wondering if I post a soil and a water test, could I solicit some advice?

In 2011 I'll be a first-year commercial grower in VA. Going certified organic. I'm growing on an acre. Had my first soil and (irrigation) water test done last month.

According to the tests, I think my soil ph is okay. I also think I'll have to lower the ph of my water. Beyond that, I'm not sure what I may, should, or must do!

I've approached some non-Tomatoville experts, but they know conventional growing. They say since I'm organic I should consult with an organic nutrient supplier. Which of course I will do. But I'd prefer not to be at the supplier's mercy. As it is, if he tells me I have to buy x, I won't know enough to argue.

John
