pH help
I just got back a soil test that was taken by the lawn fertlizer service.
The results ain't great. Not surprising, as it's a new yard/subdivision. Anyway, here's the results: pH - 5.0 ! P - 0 K-50 N- Add 5-10-10 20lbs/1000 sq ft Lime - Add 90lbs/1000 sq ft Well, I've got the lawn people on the case with a couple of planned lime treatments over the next 6-12 months, but what should I do about the new tomato bed? I did ammend heavily the new garden with cow manure, top soil, organic matter, lime, and a little organic fertilizer. Do you think that should be enough, or should I get some more bone meal & lime in that bed. I guess I could always plant a few blueberries and azaleas! But this ain't blueberryville, so give it to me straight on the maters. Of course, they might be some mighty tart maters comin' to Tomatopalooza[tm] this year! Lee
