Help with Soil Test Results

mysidx · May 12, 2011

Hi, I got test results back from the sample I took from my back yard. I plan to make two more tilled raised beds for tomatoes and based on the results I would like to know what I should or shouldn't add to the ammendment proccess to optimize tomato growing. The results do tell me what they think is high or low for tomatoes. Here are the results:

ph (1.1) 6.35 Optimum

Phosphorus, ppm 14.15 Low

Potassium, ppm 58.97 Low

Calcium, ppm 918.97 High

Magnesium, ppm 319.69 Very High

Sodium, ppm 90.15

Sulfur, ppm 11.27 Low

Copper, ppm 1.00 High

Zinc, ppm 2.18 Medium
