 OM = 8.4%              OM = 18.5%
 ph = 6.0              ph = 6.9
 Buffer ph = 6.4              Buffer ph = 7.1
 Phosphorus = 7 ppm      Phosphorus = 66 ppm
 Potassium = 237 ppm      Potassium = 202 ppm
 Calcium = 1010 ppm      Calcium = 1776 ppm
 Magnesium = 104 ppm      Magnesium = 266 ppm
 Boron = .3 ppm              Boron = .6 ppm
 Manganese = 4.8 ppm      Manganese = 6.8 ppm
 zinc = 16.5 ppm              zinc = 6.9 ppm
 copper = .4 ppm              copper = .2 ppm
 iron = 21.9 ppm              iron = 2.1 ppm
 Nitrogen NO3-N = 16 ppm      Nitrogen NO3-N = 9 ppm
 CEC = 13.2              CEC = 15.6
 
 Base Saturations %:      Base Saturations %:
 K = 4.7%              K = 4.5%
 MG = 6.6%              MG = 18.9%
 Ca = 38.9%              Ca = 76.8%
 
 extract aluminum = 65 ppm    extract aluminum = 8 ppm
 
 
 after the fall test I added 20 yards of manure and mulched leaves and composted leaves with grass clippings.Also 115# of pelletized gypsum,100# of hical lime and planted winter rye.
