For the Gypsum, go with the 6 lbs/K.

For the 19-19-19 go with 5 lbs/K.

do you think it’s possible in the future for the pH to get low enough where iron would start becoming more bioavailable?

No.

Where are the pictures you referenced?

Forsythia began blooming in the Lower Hudson Valley of NY.

As I wrote, your soil with a TEC of 12+ and a OM% of 5+ is quite rare in SE MA. Why that is will probably remain unknown. To research it, you'd have to google the appropriate "Soil survey" for your town or survey area - this can take many hours of reading to gather up details - and if the topsoil in...

The application rate for 13-13-13 is 7.5 lbs/K

Not too late - actually on-time. The Forsythia bloom is typically 3 weeks long.

We are back to Current, and there is no waiting.

Thanks all for your patience.

We are back to Current and there is no waiting line.

OK - you made multiple messes with this soil test posting, but I cleaned up after you. I split your soil test results from your Renovation thread, gave it a Title for comparisons across years, and threw away the posting of the test itself in the Interpretation Queue. Please read the instructions at ...

Liquid fertilizers are quick, but a flash-in-the-pan solution - I'm far from being a fan of them. And Urea will not address the Phosphorus shortage. You're looking for a Starter fertilizer with a high middle number - Urea has a Zero as the middle number, so not a solution. Regular apps of Vitamin M ...

I'm sure that you'd like to see the OM% rising faster than it is, but the rise is steady and consistent. Stay the course! I know you don't want to read this hearing that the OM level is "mediocre", but "mediocre" is much, much better than "poor". The raw Potassium number is OK for a calcareous soil,...

Ummm, I hope you don't feel blown-off by this short interpretation, but last year's regimen is exactly the right thing to do. The overall report is very good (and excellent for Massachusetts!).

Keep it up! A medium Loam in SE MA is rare...

I read your posting twice - I like it. Between the lines, I think I see a man who's up for a project. You found it. The soil is slightly on the "heavy" soil side. That's not terrible if it drains OK. But there are complications... The Magnesium number is very high - and the Ca:Mg ratio is only < 3:1...

Not too bad, but some areas to work on. That's a soil that's slightly to the sandy side of Loam, with a mediocre OM% number. Add compost by the ton, peat moss and/or (free) mulched leaves. Lots. A solution doesn't come in a bag. The cations aren't bad, and the resulting pH is in the sweet spot. Leav...

I'm working on the queue now, I'll be caught up by Sunday morning or earlier. Thanks for cutting me a bit of slck. Bernstem is technically correct - you should not paste the soil test in the Queue thread - it's meant as a list of people waiting, with only a link to your test thread. I can handle wha...

I don't see enough "good stuff" to save. I see chickweed, violets (maybe), dandelions (maybe), various unnamed weeds (definitely) and a half-smoked J in the upper left corner. Save the upper left corner and RU the patch, and you can seed as soon as it's dry (2 hours?). Using multiple herbicides to s...

I was so hoping that this would be the year when your TEC and OM% popped up, indicated serious attention to the organic matter. Nope. I hope you understand that leaving the TEC and OM like that is like pouring water into a strainer/collander - it pours out the bottom as fast as you pour it into the ...

Your posting is too vague to be answered. There is no selective herbicide that kills all weeds, including Quinclorac. You'd have to identify what weeds you have, and then check whether Quinclorac (the active ingredient in Drive 75) is labelled to control that weed.

Posting split from prior thread - was off-topic/hijack

With apologies to those affected, I'm running a few days behind on Soil Test Interpretations. The spouse exits Full Quarantine tomorrow night, and gets upgraded to lower-risk-but-keep-your-distance. Keeping the house operating, having food to eat, and talking to disembodied voices for 8 hrs a day ta...
