Re: DeepC Soil Test 2020

Can you give me an idea of what my target numbers should be for future tests? For potassium and magnesium, etc. I would like to know what the goal is so I can gauge the progress.
Also since the calcium is so high in my soil should I not use Soybean Meal anymore since it has calcium in it?
Thank you

Re: DeepC Soil Test 2020

I haven't located the Sul-Po-Mag locally yet. I may have to order it online. What should the application rate be, so I will know how much I need to be ordering?

New faucet

I installed a faucet on the exterior wall of the garage. I teed off the cold side of the water heater. I figured I would pass this along in case someone else was wanting an extra faucet outside. The sharkbite faucet and fittings sure make it easy for diy homeowners to do plumbing. You literally just...

The soil that has been "shaved off" is not reusable to put in the low spots. Because it's just gone. Or not really gone, its everywhere, lol. I was able to kind of push 25% percent of it in a direction of the low spots but the other 75 percent is all blasted everywhere and all over me. It does make ...

Re: UV Protectant for Patio Furniture

I use the 303 on the tires on all our vehicles. Keeps them looking brand new. It's not that glossy wet look either. Just clean black rubber.

Pressure wash high spots

I took a pressure washer to the high spots in my yard. I scalped the grass as low as my riding rotary mower would go to find the high spots. Then I used the pressure washer to shave them down. Kind of the opposite of the typical leveling job. I'm not sure if that's a good idea or a bad idea, but it ...
