Thanks Croley! Doubt I get the chance now until the last full till. But I know these numbers need lots and lots of help! I'll try to call them and plead ignorance! Compost pile will not be enough to do much overall improvement. But with as well as the plants did last year, maybe with what Ive learned and what I can ammend as we go along I'll get a nice one. My goal is at least one over 300lbs, but I'm going to shot for a 500lber! Thanks again, BSD, David

Check out Cntryboys blog listed in the first or 2nd entry of his diary. It has a section of ideal ranges for this plus it is a great read. You look a little low across the board. Your pH is good. As for specifics of what to add, I'll let someone who knows what they are doing help. Good luck!

Haven't gotten any other feedbacks, no email replies, sooo, we'll see what winging it will produce. Thanks Countryboy for the great assistance with the blog, thanks Luke for the reminder!
