Need some help with soil analysis report
I just received my soil analysis results back from the University of Missouri Extension office and was hoping someone could help me understand what I should do based the results.
Below is what I believe to be the pertinent information from the analysis salt ph 7.4 cation exchange capacity 11.2 meq/100g nutrient requirements: lb/1000 sq ft nitrogen - 1.0 phosphorus - .5 potassium - 0 I have two raised beds about 9 inches deep, 4ft by 28ft and live just outside St Louis. The weather looks like I will be able to plant out in the middle of next week and I have a few questions. Is it too late to apply the fertilizer, if not what should I use & how serious is my soil condition - do I really need to worry about it. I'll probably call the extension office tomorrow to see what they say but was just wondering what everyone's experience was with this. Thanks for any help. Mark |
