Cueball, your aluminum level seems very high and can be toxic with your acid PH which should be at 6,9/7. Up to me, don't add any P or K too. Do you added fresh manure?

the manure was fairly fresh,, well it was collected in sept,, and put on the garden in december..

Hi Cue, first I am no expert, but have had some great help this year and know the general ranges. Your iron is out of the ideal range, but all the other micronutrients look good. You might want to foliar with a manganese (with no iron) spray this year since that ratio is supposed to be 2:1 iron. Lots of other discussions on here this year so you choose. Your macros are already up there inclusing magnesium which should be around ~1/10 of your calcium or a typicaly a CA\MG ratio of 10-12. Consult with others, but you might not have to do much.

Whoops, and I agree with Stefff about the aluminum. Can sampling methods skew data? Or if one used a aluminum spade to sample? Just a thought.

Wow! Aluminum is super high. I also wonder if you used a aluminum shovel or scoop

actually i used a alumium bowl to dry the soil for a few days even tossed the soil around in the bowl a bit,, that could be my problem,,,

Yes with all that organic matter 14% if that manure wasn't totally composted last December.You have recipe for all kinds of funky diseases.I would dig a shallow pit like 12 inches deep & like 5 feet by 10 feet long & replace that soil with some sandy/loam well drained mix soil,This way your plant & first 10 feet of the main vine will have a clean start.I would also retest your soil. the Aluminum bowl could effect a lot of your readings.Just my humble honest opinion.

Cueball your Ca to Mag ratio is about 5:1 Ideal is 6.5 to 1.Youre ok if your soil is sandy.If youve got clay-youll have poor drainage.A bunch of gypsum would help if you have clay

when you say 5:1 is the 1 syomblizing mag or cal,,
